PREFACE 

THE letters to the Class this year have explained my intention of departing 
from custom in the preparation of the Decennial Record. 
We talked it over in Committee meetings, and we voted by a decided majority 
to make our Tenth Year Record something a little different from the usual col- 
lection of letters. Ordinarily the chief feature of a Class Record is a collection of 
letters from seven-tenths of the Class, answering questions of general interest con- 
cocted by the Secretary. Most of the letters are stilted, formal and unsatisfactory. 
I doubt very much whether one man in twenty ever reads a Class Record (of the 
letter sort) from cover to cover. This means that a lot of work has been done and 
a lot of money spent, all to little purpose. Many letters are made up of mere statis- 
tical information (which is just as good if given in tabular form, without padding) 
■ and excuses for not writing sooner, and apologies to the Secretary. Then, too, 
many people dislike to write letters, and some men are very reluctant to write 
a letter to go into print. When I was getting out our Triennial Record, I received 
a letter from one of our most enthusiastic members, who flatly refused to send 
a letter for the book. I quote from his letter, which covers my point exactly: 

"I don't like that idea of yours about a class letter, and the other fellows 
here are of the same mind over it. It seems to me that a letter for the Record . 
would be foolish if written in a strain such as you would use in writing to a 
close personal friend. None of the fellows here will write one. If you will be 
satisfied with a short letter consisting of statements of what I have done since 
graduation, with probably a few other remarks, I shall be glad to write one; 
but no 'personal' class letter for me." 

I have no doubt that many others feel as he does, and send their letters un- 
willingly, if they send them at all. So many of our men have enthusiastically 
>^ approved the omission of the letters, that I feel sure that a Record of this kind 

^t^ will be much more acceptable to the Class. (See article, " To the Class," 

at the end of this volume.) 
^ I have carefully examined two of the best records issued by recent classes, 

^^5^ in which information is given about five hundred and seventeen men. Ninety- 

three have not answered at all. Two hundred and twenty-six have written letters 
which give some information, (though never in complete form, as this book gives 
it,) but which are mostly filled with unreadable "hot air," of the poorest sort. 
One hundred and ninety-eight have hidden one single atom of fact in a mass of 
^ padding, or have confined themselves to excuses and apologies. Here are some 

^-ji:^ samples : 

"I have not the faintest desire to write a letter for publication. I have 

^ nothing whatever to say. I have' done nothing notable since I left col- 

- fi lege. I have written no book, printed no pamphlet. I have delivered no 

addresses which amount to anything. Have had nothing to do with war, 

^ politics or travel. I have been very busy. Hard at work. That is about all 

"'■ I know of which would interest you in even the remotest way." 



r 



"It has taken two notices to stir me up to a letter, for the very good reason 
that the kind of a letter that you want I cannot write. 

"I have been extremely happy since leaving Princeton, and moderately 
successful, and that kind of a life doesn't provide much copy. My travels 
have been confined to lands with which nine-tenths of my classmates are 
familiar, and as a law-abiding citizen I have steered clear of any adventures that 
would interest them. This letter will answer for all the literary work that I 
have accomplished in ten years. My hobby is loafing, which I cannot indulge, 
so I am sure you will spare me the pain of telling you what I would do if I could. 

"Seriously, I am sorry not to be able to put more of myself into this letter, 
but as one grows older in life it becomes harder to be communicative on paper, 
and I hope when the days of our Reunion come around, in June, that in personal 
meetings I may once more exchange with my classmates the old unreserved 
confidences that make perhaps the happiest memories of one's college days." 

Now , is it worth while to pad nearly half of a Class Record with stuflf like this ? 
No, decidedly not. 

So I have aimed to have our Decennial Book give all our own history since we 
were graduated, and some of the history of the College and the Town in those ten 
years ; and also what I find does not exist in combined form, the statistics of our 
undergraduate days, now scattered through many different Princeton publications. 

In behalf of the Class, I V\fish to express here my obligations to those who 
have helped me in the preparation of the book, especially to the editors of the 
Princeton Alumni Weekly, and the History of Athletics at Princeton, for varied 
information ; for half-tone plates and photographs, to Mr. N. W. Mclntyre, 
Manager of the 1907 Bric-a-Brac; to Mr. William H. Crocker, of the American 
Architect, of New York; to the Rogers & Wise Company, of Boston, publishers of 
Indoors and Out; to Mr. Dumont Clarke, Jr., General Secretary of the Phila- 
delphian Society of Princeton, and to the indefatigable Secretaries of the Classes 
of '95 and '97. 

One of the greatest delights in reading a Class Record lies in the awakened 
recollections of those four good years at Princeton. Talking over the old days 
at our Reunions, we often find that our memories do not agree. Here, I hope, 
the records in this book will prove their value. 

Our men are widely separated. Very probably '96 has more men scattered 
in foreign lands than any other class. For their benefit the book includes some 
little part of Princeton's history since 1896. We are sure that this will be welcome, 
and perhaps often entirely new to our absent members, for whose sake we are 
retelling what may be no news to the more fortunate ones who live nearer the 
old "Burgh." 

So, Brothers in the Faith of Old Nassau, if you get pleasure in knowing what 
your classmates have done in the past ten years, in living over again our under- 
graduate days, and in applauding the progress of our well loved Alma Mater, we 
who have collaborated in preparing the Decennial Book shall feel that we have 
labored well for the common good.

REUNIONS 

{Partially reprinted from '96 Triennial Record.) 

I. Our First Reunion was held at the time of the Sesquicentennial Celebra- 
tion, October 20 to 22, 1896. We being in point of numbers Princeton's foremost 
Class, it occasioned no surprise that the 'Ninety-Six register showed an attendance 
of about one hundred and seventy-five men, more than any other class. The 
Class headquarters were on Witherspoon street, and were constantly crowded with 
returning members. Princeton was filled to overflowing with visitors, but the 
town offered so many unusual holiday ceremonies and festivities, that there were 
few opportunities for unity of demonstration as a Class. In the Alumni Procession 
we were given the post of honor as rear guard, and after a long parade around 
town, sat down to a supper at headquarters, after which farewells were said. 

II. In June, 1897, there was a second reunion at Commencement time, at 
which about eighty-five men were present. The only general gathering of the 
Class was on the day of the Yale game, when we attended the game in a body, en- 
tering the 'Varsity grounds in solemn state, preceded by the "Spoon Street" Cadet 
Band. 

III. In the fall of 1897, there was a very informal Reunion on October 30th, 
the day of the game with Dartmouth. The object in holding a reunion on that 
particular occasion was to avoid the separation that necessarily occurs when a 
Class Reunion is held at the time of important athletic events or college festivities 
of any sort. The Reunion was an experiment, and a successful one. The Class at- 
tended the football game en masse, and in the evening met at the Princetonian 
office, where a procession was formed. Most of the men in line were somewhat 
transformed in appearance, owing to the use, as overcoats, of pajamas and kindred 
articles of apparel, and to the further disguise afforded by theatrical paint and 
false beards, which were tastefully distributed about our faces by the trained hands 
of some members who had once been shining lights of the Triangle Club. The 
"Spoon Street" orchestra was again in evidence, heading a parade that wandered 
around "the burgh" for two or three hours, giving the residents a treat, and calling 
on the President and the Dean, who made speeches of welcome. 

28 




THE SCHOOL OF SCIENCE 



IV. Our Nautical Reunion, the fourth in number, took place during the Com- 
mencement week of 1898. 

"The Fleet" began to gather two or three days before the Yale game. The 
auxiliary cruiser "St. Louis" (Capt. Hager), the corvette "Kansas City" (Captain 
Baker), the cruisers "Louisville" (Captain Barret) and "Springfield" (Captain 
Dickerman), had steamed many miles from the West. After finding suitable an- 
chorage on the front campus, and establishing a coaling station at Dohm's, our first 
demonstration consisted of a banquet at Mr. Bave's private parlors, which was 
attended by the commanding ofiicers of the fleet, and presided over by Admiral 
Kilpatrick, whose flag was borne by the cruiser "Baltimore." The following 
day saw the most important naval demonstration indulged in by the fleet. 
An unexpected northeast storm from the Connecticut shore suddenly arising, 
the fleet was temporarily scattered, and forced to seek safe anchorage. 
During the two days following, most of the fleet were dispatched to patrol or 
coast-guard service, a few chosen vessels being detailed for special duty un- 
der the direction of the Admiral. The Admiral's squadron saw active service, 
being prominently engaged in the prompt repulse of the Spanish attack on Brown 
Hall, and actively participating in the two evening bombardments of the library. 
During the latter of these engagements, three strange vessels hove in sight, and 
decks were at once cleared for action ; but upon an exchange of signals, the visitors 
proved to be a friendly English squadron, composed of the "Dreadnought" (Ad- 
miral John Topley, commanding), the "Invincible" (Captain Wni. Leggett) and 
the "Terrible" (Captain James Connor). The strangers were convoyed out of 
range, and the bombardment was continued. Peace was declared too soon for the 
happiness of the Admiral's squadron, and a separation became necessary after 
Commencement Day.

THE TRIENNIAL REUNION— 1899 

V. Our Triennial Reunion in June, 1899, was attended by about one hundred 
men. The headquarters were in the fire engine building in Witherspoon Street. 

'Ninety-Six has been the leader in introducing novel features at Princeton re- 
unions. This Reunion was the first at which any class had worn any sort of hat 
or uniform or any distinguishing mark, except the usual badge and the Class pin. 
The new feature was a '96 Class hat, in orange and black and white. 

The Reunion opened under inauspicious circumstances. The baseball pros- 
pects were not very bright, as the team had been shut out at New Haven a week 
before. In spite of this bad beginning and the prospect of heavy rain, we made 
up our minds to have a good time anyway, and to hold our parade, rain 
or shine. About half the men purchased gaudy-colored oil-cloths at one 
of the village stores and used these as capes. They were intended for pro- 
tection, but proved to be the amusing feature of the procession. Our never-say- 
die spirit had its good results, for the sun came out about three o'clock, and the 
game was played and resulted in a good victory for Princeton, who won the cham- 
pionship on the Saturday succeeding. Our Class had taken Dewey's victory the 
year before very much to heart, so a miniature battleship Olympia was very 
properly a prominent feature of our parade. A Class supper was held at the head- 
quarters on the evening of Saturday.

THE QUINQUENNIAL REUNION— 1901 



For our Triennial, Wallace McLean wrote a number of class songs, the most 
popular of which was the following. It has been sung at every subsequent Re- 
union, and is now the "Ninety-Six Song," par excellence. 

(Air, "Hot Time in Old Town.") 
Here we are, so very large and square. 
'Ninety-Six, you can find us everywhere. 
We are the warmest Class 
That ever left this town. 
There'll be a hot time 
In Princeton to-night — 

Old Nassau. 
Beat old Yale or know the reason fihy, 
Beat or bust has always been our cry. 
And when we win 
We'll make the campus ring 
With our hot time 
In Princeton to-night — 

Old Nassau. 
Drink to the health of dear old Nassau Hall, 
Drink to the team that has won the game of ball, 
And we'll drink to the girls. 
The fair ones — bless them all. 
There'll be a hot time 
In Princeton to-night — 

Old Nassau

THE QUINQUENNIAL REUNION— 1901 



VI. On the occasion of our Quinquennial Reunion in 1901, we wore sailor's 
uniforms of white, with khaki leggings. This was the first complete uniform ever 
adopted by a Princeton class. It was a success. The headquarters were in the 
large house, No. 15 University Place, opposite the Observatory. A large tent in 
the back-yard was used as a reception salon. 

On Friday night there was the usual informal gathering. 

On Saturday we paraded to the game in our white uniforms, carrying pennants, 
and made the hit of the day. After the game, which Princeton won (Princeton 
always wins when '96 has one of her big Reunions), we marched back to the head- 
quarters, and had an open air supper in the tent. While the supper was in progress, 
the Class Cup was presented to Eugene Gray's son, David Sturgeon Gray, of Colum- 
bus, Ohio, who was born July 7, 1899, a few weeks after our Triennial Reunion. 
Wallace McLean was the presentation orator. After supper we introduced an- 
other novelty, a parade about the campus, each man carrying an illuminated Chinese 
lantern. We then went back to our headquarters and welcomed visiting graduates.

IN THE TENT 

'Ninety-Six Headquarters, 15 University Place. 



Quinquennial Reunion — 1901 



On Sunday we had a quiet home day, admitting no one except members of 
the Class and a few specially invited guests. Several of the best entertainers among 
the alumni visited us that afternoon and told stories of old Princeton life, the 
Boer War and the Philippine War, to the great enjoyment of the favored '96 men 
who spent the afternoon there. On the evening of Monday we entertained the 
Senior Class after Senior Singing. About a hundred of the new graduates were 
present. All their "talent," called upon in turn, did enjoyable "stunts" for the 
benefit of the company. Songs, dances and speeches prolonged the entertainment 
until midnight. This was one of the most enjoyable times of the Reunion. By 
Tuesday most of the Class had left town, but the few who were left kept together 
at headquarters on Tuesday and Wednesday, talking over old times. Many 
letters from absent members abroad were received and read to the Class. 

It was decided to hold a Seventh Reunion and to occupy the same house as 
headquarters. 




SEPTENNIAL REUNION— 1903 

VII. The Septennial Reunion in 1903 brought another novelty in the parade. 
Our uniforms were the same as in 1901. A cannon was borrowed from the Navy 
Yard in Philadelphia. One of the Government sailors was detailed to take charge 
of it. It arrived Saturday morning and we immediately proceeded to fire a salute 
and break most of the windows in our house and in those adjoining. Salutes were 
repeated at intervals during Saturday at the 'Varsity Field, and on our return to the 
headquarters. 

As in 1901, we had an informal supper in the garden. The Class Secretary 
was empowered to act as the representative of '96 in co-operating with the other 
classes in the scheme for erecting the Alumni Dormitory. On Tuesday night we 
entertained the graduating class. In other respects the Reunion was like the 
Quinquennial. 

The Neivark News thus described our share in the parade on the 'Varsity Field : 

CLASS OP '96 MAKES A HIT. 
"The original Class of '96, as usual, made the hit of the grad 'pee-rade.' The Class, as 
marines from the gunboat Princeton, had some sixty men in the white uniform of the marine 
service. The government had lent the Class a one-pounder field howitzer and a gunner in charge 
of it. The Class 'pee-raded' around the field and placed the cannon in the centre of the field 
and o-ave a burlesque drill. When the gun was fired it almost blew Barnwell off his pins. There 
was a hospital corps which lent first aid to the wounded, and saved a man directly under the 
jaws of the cannon. The entire Class was attired in regular fringe whiskers of the sailor."

SOME OF THE REUNIONS IN NEW YORK 



VIII.— XV. New York Reunions. 

A few small reunions have been held in New York in the course of the past 
ten years. These have been attended by thirty or forty men, and have been most 
enjoyable. The chosen few will remember with delight the special "Mazet Com- 
mittee" meeting at which we "investigated" some of our prominent barristers,

REVISITING PRINCETON 

Graduates of other colleges always admire the loyalty and enthusiasm of the 
Princeton alumni ; but they fail to appreciate one of the most important ways in which 
these feelings are kept warm. When two Princetonians meet, a question that is sure to 
be asked is : "What was the last time you went back?" There's the secret. Prince- 
ton men always have in mind a visit to the "Old Burgh" as one of the delights 
of the near future. Baseball and football games, Commencement week, affairs 
of the Senior Clubs, lectures and college meetings, all give us good excuses for getting 
on the train at Princeton Junction as many times a year as we can. The rejuvenated 
Nassau Club, which used to be a local institution, now numbers among its members 
many alumni who are more and more frequently returning to Princeton for ' ' week- 
end" visits, and who are sure of finding their classmates and contemporaries there. 

The Class of 'Ninety-Six is very widely scattered, but there are many men whose 
visits to Princeton are frequent. The replies to the Class Secretary's Decennial 
Record circular show how '96 men return, and how they follow Princeton's in- 
terests. Of those who answered the Class Secretary's questions on this subject,

THE NINETY-SIX LOVING CUP 



Our Loving Cup was presented to the Class in May, 1896, by Mrs. William 
Hardcastle Browne, of Philadelphia, mother of Dr. Charles Browne, '96. It was 
first used at the farewell undergraduate meeting of the Class on the steps of Old 
North, June 10, 1896. 'Ninety-Six was the first Class to use a loving cup of its 
own at the farewell ceremonies. 

Since our graduation, the Loving Cup has been kept at the Princeton Inn. It 
is used \\henever the Class has a special reunion at Princeton.

IN MEMORIAM 




PARKER JOHNSON BOICE 

Parker Johnson Boice was born in Indianapolis, 
Indiana, May 10th, 1873. He was the only child of 
Augustin and Adela Verena Johnson Boice. After 
leaving college, he was with a manufacturing concern 
for about one year. In the fall of 1898 he entered the 
Indiana Law School of Indianapolis and was gradua- 
ted from it in May, 1900, with the degree of LL.B. 
He was admitted to the bar of Marion County, Indiana, 
and to that of the United States Circuit and District 
Courts for the District of Indiana, and of the Supreme 
Court of Indiana. 

The study of the law was pleasing to him and he 
had the peculiar mental faculty which lawyers call 
"a fine legal mind" — keen in analysis and with very 
fine discrimination. He stood high in his class, but 
was not destined to realize his hopes of a successful 
professional career. Immediately after he was 
graduated from the law school, he was compelled to 
go West. He roughed it for a year in Colorado, New 
Mexico and Arizona, in hopes of regaining his health. 
The trip was measurably successful and he seemed to recover from the disease with which he was 
then afflicted. After his return from the West, he devoted the greater part of his time to his pro- 
fession until March, 1903, when he made a trip to Porto Rico and crossed the island in a stage 
over the Spanish Military Road. On his way home he visited Princeton for the last time. On 
his return from Porto Rico in the latter part of April, he again took up the work of his profession 
and continued in it to the end. 

Boice's death was sudden and unexpected. The Indianapolis Star of February 8th, 1904, 
gives the following account of it : \, 

"Exercise designed to develop health and strength yesterday brought sudden death to 
Parker Johnson Boice, a promising young lawyer and prominent society man of this city. 

"The young man was found dead on his bedroom floor at his father's home, 1505 North 
Delaware street, and from the circumstances of the case it is concluded that heart trouble, super- 
induced by exercise, caused his death. 

"It had been the young man's custom to exercise with a set of chest weights upon retiring 
each night, and when his body was discovered yesterday noon it was lying straight on the back 
with the arms uplifted above the head, in the position that an athlete assumes in using the weights. 

"It is supposed that, after disrobing for the night on Saturday, Mr. Boice took up his usual 
exercise. Death must have been instantaneous and peaceful, for when the body was discovered 
there were no evidences of pain or suffering. 

"Mr. Boice was a graduate of Princeton College and of the Indianapolis Law School. He 
formerly was deputy to the county prosecutor. Of late years he had engaged in the practice of 
law with his father, Augustin Boice." 

The date of his death is given as February 7th, 1904, but it must have occurred about mid- 
night of Saturday, February 6th, 1904, but whether before or after midnight is uncertain. 



39 



He was a member of the Loyal Legion by inheritance from his grandfather, Major William 
Parker Johnson, after whom he was named. Meredith Nicholson, Charles A. Wilson, and John 
D. Thomson, the committee appointed by the Indiana Commandery of the Loyal Legion to pre- 
pare a memorial of him, say of him in part : 

"Companion Boice's membership in the Commandery was derived from his grandfather. 
Major William P. Johnson, late Surgeon of the Eighteenth Regiment O. V. I., and he was also 
linked to the civil conflict through his father, a corporal in the Ninety-first O. V. I., whose record 
for gallantry was conspicuous. 

"There thus entered naturally into Companion Boice's character certain of the sterling quali- 
ties of the soldier. He possessed in the highest degree the instinct of loyalty to principle and 
duty, and he did what his hands found to do patiently, quickly and efficiently. His was a reserved 
nature, but with an outlook on life that was wholly cheerful and sunny. There was in him a 
certain austerity; he had for casual acquaintances an air of walking apart; but in the smaller 
circle of his intimates he was a delightful friend, with a happy gift for saying bright and quotable 
things. 

"Our Companion, cut down at the threshold of manhood, and at the beginning of a career of 
service and honor, was of the stuff that our American soldiers have been made in every generation. 
Ill health menaced him through many years, but there was nothing nobler in his life than the 
silence with which he suffered and the hope and courage with which he lived. He was faithless 
in no obligation and false to no friend. He lived a clear, open and manly life, leaving nothing 
back of him that we need excuse or defend." 

WILLIAM HAGER 

" Dutch " Hager died very suddenly of acute 
Bright's disease, at his home in St. Louis, on March 
13th, 1904. He had not been ill, but on the morning 
of his death did not take Sunday breakfast with the 
family, but complained of a severe headache, asking 
to be allowed to rest. Soon afterward he was found 
in a sinking condition, and in a few hours he was 
dead. 

After leaving Princeton, he entered the employ 
of his family's concern, the C. Hager & Sons Hinge 
Manufacturing Company, and was with them until 
the time of his death. 

Those of us who attended the informal "Nautical 
Reunion" of the Class in 1898, will always remember 
with keen pleasure how he was the life and soul of 
that small gathering, and as the "Cruiser St. I,ouis" 
contributed more than any one else to our enjoyment. 

This is his last letter to the Class. It was 
printed in the Triennial Record: 

"St. Louis, Mo., April 10th, 1899. 

"Dbar Classmates: 

"The persistency of our Secretary in sending letters, circulars and telegrams has had its 
effect on me. I hasten to write, for I could not trust Bos to write my letter for me. 

"I am afraid I will not be with you in June to celebrate our Triennial, as the 'Cruiser St. 
Louis' is without coal, and it is a long way to the good old 'Burg.' How are all the rest of 
the flying squadron getting along? All ought to be well repaired by this time and ready to begin 
active service in June. I understand that Sesquicentennial quantities, combined with open-air 
concerts, are to be some of the features of the celebration. I wish I could be with you to enjoy it. 

"Since leaving the 'Burg' I have been working for my father, doing odd jobs. The other 
'96 boys here are prospering, and I see them every now and then. Dave Edwards came through 
here one day last fall and spent a day with me; then sailed South to coach some football team in 
Texas. 

"The Dutch Schooner now bids you good-bye, until we meet again. 

"Yours as ever, 'Dutch' Hager."

EDGAR THOMAS BLACKWELL 

After graduation, Blackwell was in Germany 
eighteen months, studying the language, spending 
the greater part of the time in Hanover. After return- 
ing home, he entered the American Bridge Company's 
office at Trenton, as draughtsman. Being taken 
with heart trouble, followed by asthma, in November, 
1898 he went to Arizona and California, returning 
home, not much improved in health, after a two 
years' stay. His health continued to fail until his 
death on February 23rd, 1903, of heart trouble. 




SYDNEY SERRILL BUNTING 

After graduation, Syd Bunting entered the es- 
tablishment of John Wanamaker, in Philadelphia. 
During the fire at Wanamaker's, in the early winter of 
1897, he was subjected to great exposure and con- 
tracted a very severe cold, which developed into 
acute pneumonia. He died at his home in Phila- 
delphia, February 20th, 1897. 




HARRY BEMAN CAMPBELL 

"Tim" Campbell returned to his home at 
Evanston, Illinois, after graduation, and until the 
time of his fatal illness, devoted himself to looking 
after his father's real estate interests. His illness 
was at first thought to be only a form of malarial 
fever, from which he had been a frequent sufferer; 
but it developed into typhoid, and terminated fatally 
on October 16th, 1897. 



41 




CLARENCE MELVILLE JOHNSON 

After graduation, "Cyn" Johnson entered the 
Law School of Columbian University at Washington, 
D. C. While there he became a member of the 
legal fraternity of Phi Delta Phi. His health failing, 
he went to Baltimore to accept a position with the 
firm of Johnson, Boyd and Co., with whom he was 
connected at the time of his death. He died of in- 
flammatory rheumatism at his home at Washington, 
D. C, April 14th, 1905, after a painful illness of nine 
weeks. 




LOUIS WILLIAM HALL, Jr. 

After graduation, "Skinny" Hall went to Pitts- 
burg, where he accepted a position with the Adams 
Express Company. Later he entered the employ of 
the Standard Manufacturing Company of Pittsburg, 
and was with that concern until he died. He was 
suddenly taken ill in April, 1898, and was operated 
upon for appendicitis, but failed to rally after the 
operation. He died at 1158 Ellsworth avenue, 
Pittsburg, Pa., April 12th, 1898. 



ERNEST CLAUDE HERR 

Herr entered 'Ninety-Six in Freshman Year. He died during the first summer vacation, on 
July 1st, 1893. 

EDWARD J. HERRING 

Herring entered Princeton with 'Ninety-Six. He became a member of Whig Hall, where he 
gave great promise for a brilliant career. He died at Princeton, very suddenly, on November 
6th, 1892. 

THOMAS MIFFLIN JONES, Jr. 

Jones was with the Class in Freshman year. After leaving college, he entered the employ 
of "Jones & Laughlin, Ltd." steel manufacturers, Pittsburg, Pa. He married Miss Mary Estelle 
Brown at Pittsburg, on April 9th, 1896. He died May 17th, 1902, leaving one son, Thomas 
Mifflin Jones III., born December 30th, 1896. Jones was the only married man in the Class who 
has died.

DANIEL ROUSE BOWER GLENN 

After our graduation, Danny Glenn was in 
Princeton for about a year. In the early part of 
1898, he started on an expedition to Alaska with 
a party of which Post Wheeler, '91, and Billy Verner, 
'96, were members. The early days of the trip are 
fully described in a series of letters from him, in our 
Triennial Record. 

The original party broke up. Danny alone re- 
mained in Alaska, spending part of his time at pros- 
pecting and mining. At intervals he held various 
government positions in the towns. Most of the 
information about his life in Alaska is indefinite 
and disconnected. It is reported that he was City 
Surveyor at Nome City. He led this varying life 
until 1904, when he made a prospecting trip with a 
small party. They were subjected to extreme 
privations, which he ramblingly described to us when 
he came home. For more than three weeks, he told 
us, the rations for the party were reduced to a few 
dried onions and a strip of bacon. At one time, 
his share of the camp work had to be done when he was suffering from abscesses on both hands. 
The party finally got back to the settlements, and he was very ill at Nome for several weeks, 
absolutely without the comforts and most of the necessities of the sick room. During this illness 
he often had to go without food for a day or two. What most impressed us, who heard him tell 
the disjointed story of his hardships, was his indomitable pluck. He would not give up. He 
hated to come home and say he had failed. He made the finest kind of a fight against heavy 
odds, and showed himself game to the core, inspired to the end with the Princeton spirit that 
will not be downed. But the long strain was too great. He broke down at last at Seattle, and 
came home in the early winter of 1905. Weak and emaciated, in the last stages of consumption, 
he saw his mother and family again after a separation of seven years, and then with high hope 
started for the Dry Country in the Southwest to try to fight the conquering disease. But it had 
gone too far. He grew weaker and weaker on the trip west, and on his arrival had to go to a sani- 
tarium at Phoenix, Arizona, where he died a few weeks later, March 14th, 1905. 

The boys in our Class who had laughed at his "You do annoy me so," in the Triangle Club 
show in Senior year, and had enjoyed the irrepressible humor that he could not repress, never 
forgot him. At every reunion while he was away, we would hear many inquiries for him. 

From the moment when we first heard he was stricken at Seattle, to the day of his burial at 
Trenton, his classmates cared for him. 'Ninety-Six men helped him when he was getting ready 
to start back from the Pacific Coast; and 'Ninety-Six men met him and made him comfortable 
on his way home, and after he had returned East, and was revisiting his old friends. No one 
ever felt more than Danny did what it means to be a Princeton man, when you are in trouble 
and sickness and need friends. The Princeton bond of fellowship makes the hardships of life 
easier to bear, but never more for any one than for Danny Glenn. Even in his last hours he had 
the comradeship and care of one of his own class, one of his own C.E. men. And even after he 
was dead, the sympathy of his classmates did much to cheer his family in the hour of grief. 

May he rest in peace, a brave soldier in a losing fight. 



CHARLES BORLAND STEWART 

Stewart entered 'Ninety-Six in Freshman year, in the Academic Course. He won the light 
weight cane spree for the Class in Sophomore year. He was taken suddenly ill with pneumonia 
during the Christmas vacation of Sophomore year and died at a hospital in Philadelphia, January 
6th, 1894. 

HADLEY WYMAN 



Wyman was with the Class during Freshman year. 
Freshman year, after a short illness, May 2d, 1893. 



He died at Princeton in the spring of

PRINCETON '96 IN THE ARMY AND NAVY 

GEORGE GLOVER BLACKMORE 

Private, Battery A, Pennsylvania Light Artillery Volunteers. 

"I served in Battery A, Penna. Light Artillery Vols., from June 16th to November 11th, 1898. 
Enlisted just after Commencement last June, at Philadelphia, at the time the battery was put on war 
footing, and joined the battery at Newport News, Va., where they were then in Camp Warburton. 
After numerous false reports, the long looked for order came that we were to be sent at once to Porto 
Rico on the expedition to that Island. On August 5th we sailed from Newport News in S. S. ' Manitoba,' 
in charge of Maj. Castleman, 1st Ky. Vol. Inf., along with the Gov.'s and Sheridan troops of Pa. Cavalry, 
Battery C, Pa. Vols., detachment of hospital corps and signal corps men. Arrived off Ponce August 10th, 
and on entering the harbor went aground on a bar. The battery went ashore the next day and had 
hardly got started with the work of unloading, when the news of the signing of the Protocol came, much 
to the disappointment of all. However, we completed the unloading and proceeded to our new camp 
in the foot hills, back of Ponce about two miles. Orders soon came that all artillery and cavalry would 
be returned to the States, and then on September 3rd we completed the work of loading again, and the 
S. S. 'Mississippi' left for Jersey City, arriving at the latter place at noon on September 10th, with 
Troops A and C, N. Y. Cavalry, First City Troop of Phila., Batteries A and C Vols., Governor's and 
Sheridan's Troops, Pa. Cav., and the battery was taken at once to Philadelphia, where we were dismissed 
on sixty days' furlough. Reporting again on November 10th, was examined physically and told to 
report the following Thursday, but the following day succeeded in getting my discharge from the 
United States service." 

BERNIS B. BRIEN 

Private, 3rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry, Company G. 

"At the outbreak of the war I enlisted as a private in Co. G, 3rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Soon 
after the regiment's arrival in Tampa, I was detailed to the regimental hospital, and thence transferred 
to the Third Division Hospital, Fourth Army Corps, serving at Tampa and Fernandina. For the 
twelve weeks we were in Fernandina, I did constant night duty from 6 p.m. until 7 a.m." 

CHARLES BROWNE 

Hospital Staff — Contract Nurse in charge of two wards at Hospital at Fortress Monroe, Va., 1898. 

THOMAS CADWALADER 

Private, Troop A, Philadelphia City Cavalry. 
Service in Porto Rico, 1898. 

HENRY WELTY COULTER 

\Oth Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. 
Service in Manila, 1898. 

JOSIAH HUGHES CRAWFORD 

Red Cross and Christian Commission. 

" The last of May saw me identified with the Red Cross and Christian Commission movements, 
and I was assigned as their field agent at Chickamauga, with the Second Division of the First Army 
Corps, General Poland in command. General Brooke being commander of the corps. 

"My duties there consisted in getting supplies and reading matter through to the various regiments 
and hospitals, cultivating friendly relations with the army surgeons, and finally controlling very largely 
the religious work in the Second Division hospital, with its 600 or more sick men quartered there at 
a time. In addition to working twelve or fifteen hours a day, I had to preach to the various regiments 
in the Division when they were without chaplains or when their chaplains were sick. In one week I 
preached at five such services, and my work only failed reaching Porto Rico, for, when ordered to go 
there, I was so near a physical wreck from numerous diseases that it took me five weeks to get into 
any shape before I could return to the Seminary for my Senior year. But in all the work the old class 
and college were not forgotten. An example is in point. One Sunday morning, after having service 
with the First Pennsylvania Regiment, and preparing to preach to the First Georgia, Tom Stites, of 
familiar memory, an assistant hospital steward in the First Pennsylvania, yelled to me from an am- 
bulance, 'Say, Joe, Yale licked the 'Varsity in baseball yesterday.' Think of preparing a sermon 
on such news!"

RICHARD EVERETT DWIQHT 

With Battery A in Cuba, 1898. 

HERBERT WILLIAM FITZGERALD 

Governor' s Troop, Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry. 
Service in Porto Rico, 1898. 

PERSIFOR FRAZER, Jr. 

Private, First Troop Philadelphia City Cavalry. 

WILLIAM HENRY FULPER 

Passed Assistant Paymaster, U. S. N. 

He was appointed Passed Assistant Paymaster in the Navy with the rank of Lieut., on May 23rd, 
1898. He has published a book entitled "The Cruise of the U. S. S. Resolute with forty tons of Dynamite 
during the war with Spain." In this book, which is a transcript of his diary, and illustrated, he gives 
some very graphic accounts of scenes at Guantanamo, Santiago and Havana. 

"Being Paymaster in the Naval Reserves of New Jersey I entered the regular Navy on May 24th, 
with the rank of Lieutenant. On April 16th I went aboard the monitor Montauk, at League Island 
Navy Yard, and went with her to Portland, Me. I joined the U. S. S. Resolute at the Navy Yard, New 
York, on May 19th. Detached from the Resolute on October 23rd and ordered home. 

"The Resolute was in three principal engagements; the Bombardment of Aguadores, on July 1st; 
the Battle of Santiago, on July 3rd, in which Admiral Cervera's fleet was entirely destroyed. The 
Resolute' s participation in this battle is a matter of history. 

"Our third and last battle (which was the last battle of the war) was the action at Manzanillo, 
the afternoon of August 12th and morning of the 13th, the last shot of the war being fired by the U. S. S. 
Newark at 6.32 the morning of the 13th. 

"The Resolute being commanded and manned almost exclusively by Naval Reserves, has received 
extraordinary praise from the Navy Department. And as a compliment for hard work the Resolute 
was made the flagship of the North Atlantic Squadron and took the peace commission to Havana, and 
remained in Cuban waters at Havana and vicinity for about six weeks, when we were compelled to leave 
on account of yellow fever breaking out aboard ship." 

MELDRUIW GRAY 

Second Lieut. Volunteer Signal Corps. 

" I was enlisted in the Fourth Ohio Volunteer Infantry on May 15, 1898, and on the same day 
left with the regiment for Chickamauga. I served as private and corporal in the Fourth Ohio until 
June 27th, when I received a commission as Second Lieutenant in the Volunteer Signal Corps. Was 
stationed at Chickamauga until July 21st, when we were ordered with the First Division, First Army 
Corps, to proceed to Newport News, and thence to Porto Rico. I was stationed at Ponce, Porto Rico, 
until some days after the Peace Protocol was signed, then ordered to proceed to Guayama, where I 
remained until ordered home, in the early part of September. Was then given the usual leave of absence 
and mustered out with my company." 

RENSSELAER HAVENS GREENE 

Corporal, 52nd Iowa Volunteer Infantry. 

"After a service of four and one-half years in the Iowa National Guard, I enlisted, April 26th, 
1898, in the Fifty-second Regiment of Iowa Infantry Volunteers, our National Guard Company retaining 
its original formation, and we served until the latter part of August at Chickamauga Park, when we 
were brought to Des Moines and furloughed for a month. I was enlisted as a private and was pro- 
moted to corporal May 27th, and served in that capacity until discharged." 

WARREN JACKSON HAINES 

Second Lieut. Isi Maryland Volunteer Infantry. 

"My war record can be told in a few words, as the operations of my regiment were confined solely 
to this continent. I went into camp with the Maryland National Guard, as a sergeant in Co. F, 1st 
Maryland Infantry, at Pimlico, Md., on April 25th, 1898. On May 17th the regiment was mustered 
into the U. S. service, and left for Fort Monroe, Va., on May 25th. I was commissioned 2nd Lieutenant 
July 6th, and in the latter part of August tendered my resignation, having same accepted September 
1st, when I severed my connection with the regiment."

GORDON JOHNSTON 

First Lieutenant, United States Army 

" In May, 1898, 1 went into the army as a trooper in the First U. S. Volunteer Cavalry (Rough 
Riders), but was not one of those who fought at Santiago.' The troop and squadron to which I was 
assigned were not called into active service other than the Tampa Campaign." 

1898 — Second Lieutenant in Second Mississippi Regiment; camp at Jackson, Miss. 

1898 — Second Lieutenant in First U. S. Volunteer Cavalry (Rough Riders) ; service at Fort 
Ethan Allen, and at Tampa, Fla., and Montauk Point, N. Y.

1901 — Second Lieutenant in U. S. Regular Army, Tenth Cavalry. 

1903 — First Lieutenant, Fifteenth U. S. Cavalry, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. 

1904 — With Company I, U. S. Signal Corps; service in the Philippines. 

[Extracts from The Princeton Alumni Weekly, 1900.] 

"Gordon Johnston, '96, formerly of the Rough Riders, is now Lieutenant of the Forty-third Regi- 
ment, serving in the Philippines, in the expedition of Brigadier-General Kobb into three islands of the 
archipelago. Lieutenant Johnston distinguished himself for bravery by putting to rout, with a small 
band, over a thousand armed Filipinos, after a hard day's work in saving a town from a fire started by 
the enemy. Lieut. Johnston is a son of General Robert D. Johnston of the Confederate Army. His 
services in the Rough Riders gained for him the close friendship of President Roosevelt. A short time 
ago, at the head of twelve scouts, he drove one hundred and fifty natives, who were intrenched near 
Palo on the Island of Leyte, from their position, and soon after captured their town." 

[From The Princeton Alumni Weekly, May 31, 1902.] 
The following excerpts concerning a well-known member of this class are from the Congressional 

Record of March 20th: 

"To be First Lieutenant, by brevet: Second Lieut. Gordon Johnston, Forty-third Inf. U. S. V., 

for conspicuous gallantry in action at Palo, Leyte, P. I., February 1st, 1900, to rank from that date." 
"To be Captain, by brevet: Second Lieut. Gordon Johnston, Forty-third Inf. U. S. V., for 

distinguished gallantry in action at Babatungon, Leyte, P. I., December 14th, 1900, to rank from 

that date." 

[From The Princeton Alumni Weekly, March 17, 1906.] 

The Princeton friends of Gordon Johnston, '96, were not surprised to learn, by the newspaper 
reports of the recent engagements between United States troops and outlaw Moros at Mount Dajo, that 
Lieut. Johnston was one of the first to scale the rim of the crater where the enemy was intrenched. For 
that's the kind of a "boy" he was. As president of his Sophomore class, he was always among the first 
to scale the rim of the crater of volcanic underclass rivalry. Though too light for the Varsity eleven, 
as a substitute and a member of the scrub he showed the proper spirit. He was an editor of The Prince- 
tonian, and in Whig and Murray Halls, also, he was a leader. 

[From The New York Times, Sunday, March 11, 1906.] 

The wounds received by First Lieut. Gordon Johnston during the recent battle with the Moro 
outlaws at Mount Dajo, on the Island of Jolo, are severe, a slug having passed through his right shoulder. 
He performed a gallant deed when he scaled the wall of the Rio crater and was blown off the parapet 
by the force of exploding shells.

Battle Took Place at Jolo, Sulu Island, and Lasted for Two Days — Band Had Infestea the Hills, Defied 

the Sultan and Raided Peaceful Inhabitants — All Were Killed — ' ' Most Difficult Position 

We Ever Assaulted," Says Gen. Wood — Will End Depredations. 

Manila, March 9. — Gen. Wood reports the severest fight that has occurred since the close of the 
insurrection. The battle, which lasted two days, was between the American forces at Jolo, Sulu Island, 
and outlaw Moros infesting the hills, who defied the authority of the Sultan and raided peaceful inhabi- 
tants. The Moros were trapped in the crater of the volcano and were all killed. The general opera- 
tions were under Col. Duncan, of the Sixth Infantry. The Americans lost eighteen killed and fifty-two 
wounded. The losses of the Moros were six hundred killed. 

Among the Americans wounded were Signal Lieutenant Gordon Johnston, severely wounded 
in the shoulder, and Lieutenant Ernest H. Agnew of the Sixth Infantry. In his report Gen. Wood says, 
after describing the field of operation : 

"The last four hundred feet of the mountain were at an angle of sixty degrees and there were 
fifty perpendicular ridges, covered with a growth of timber, strongly fortified and defended by an in- 
visible force of Moros." 

After enumerating the losses as above. Gen. Wood adds: "All the defenders of the Moro strong- 
hold were killed. The artillery was lifted by block and tackle for a distance of three hundred feet and 
placed in position on the lip of the crater. It was the most difficult position we ever assaulted. The 
resistance was literally to the death. Brig. -Gen. Bliss and myself were present throughout the action. 
The attacking columns were commanded by Major Omar Bundy, Capt. K. P. Lawton, Capt. Rivers, 
Capt. L. M. Kohler, Capt. McGlachern and Lieutenant Johnston." 

GEN. JOHNSON'S SON WOUNDED. 
FIRST LIEUTENANT IS A PRINCETON MAN AND AN EX-ROUGH RIDER. 

First Lieutenant Gordon Johnston, of the Sixth United States Infantry, who was severely wounded 
in the shoulder at Mount Dajo, is the only son of the Confederate General, R. D. Johnston, and was 
born in the old home near Birmingham, Ala., thirty-one years ago. After graduating from the Birm- 
ingham High School he came North and entered Princeton University. He was well known as an 
athlete, playing tackle on the 'Varsity team for two seasons. 

After graduating in 1896 he became head coach for the University of North Carolina football team. 
When the Rough Riders was formed, Johnston enlisted as a private. He won rapid promotion and 
was especially commended by President Roosevelt in his story of San Juan Hill. At the close of hos- 
tilities Col. Roosevelt used his influence in securing for Johnston a Second Lieutenancy in the Army. 
Two years ago he married Miss Julia Johnston, of Baltimore. They were children together, but were 
not related. 

[From The New York Sun, March 12, 1906.] 

Washington, March 11. — Lieutenant Gordon Johnston, of the United States Army Signal 
Corps, has the true soldierly habit of speaking briefly and succinctly, and he has followed that rule in 
addressing the President of the United States. The President and Lieutenant Johnston know each other 
well, for the Lieutenant was an officer in Colonel Roosevelt's Rough Riders. When news was received 
that Lieutenant Johnston had been seriously wounded in the battle on Mount Dajo, in the Island of 
Jolo, the Presidefit sent him a telegram of inquiry, and to-day the young officer's answer came. Here 
is the cabled correspondence, as made public this evening: 

Washington, March 10. 
Lieutenant Gordon Johnston, Manila: — How are you? Theodore RoosEvElT. 

Zamboanga (undated). 
President, Washington: — Fine, thanks. Johnston.

that vessel, and saw service on her as follows. 

The last days of April, all of May, and part of June, were spent alternating between Province- 
town, Mass., and Boston, the duty being connected with the defense of Boston harbor. During the 
latter part of June the Katahdin was ordered to Hampton Roads, and remained either there or at Nor- 
folk until the signing of the Peace Protocol, ostensibly lying in wait for the phantom Spanish fleet. 
The latter part of September she was ordered to League Island Navy Yard, and there went out 
of commission. From the peculiar construction of the Katahdin, and through the fact that she was 
an experiment, the Navy Department never permitted her an opportunity of testing the powers for which 
she was built, so that Potter was one of those unfortunate regular officers who failed to get under fire. 

Potter was then ordered, as pay officer, to the Buffalo. This vessel was originally the El Cid; 
then, after having been purchased by Brazil, she became the Nictheroy, and when obtained by the United 
States her name was once more changed to the Buffalo. Sometime during December the Buffalo sailed 
for Manila, via the Suez Canal, and after a record breaking trip reached there safely on February 2, 
1899. During the trip stops were rnade at Port Said, Colombo and Singapore, but only long enough 
to coal. Potter reached Manila just in tine to participate in the battles of February 4th and 5th, and his 
letters since then are full of exciting and romantic incidents. He was later transferred to the U. S. S. 
Boston. Commissioned Passed Assistant Paymaster U. S. Navy, March 3, 1899 ; commissioned Pay- 
master U. S. Navy, September 9, 1902. In PhiHppine Insurrection on U. S. S. Buffalo, Boston and 
Manila. Present at Zapote River fight; bombardment of San Fabian and Lingayen Gulf Expedi- 
tion; skirmish at Balabac; taking of Zamboanga; General Bates' expeditions to Southern and Northern 
Mindanao; bombardment at Malay; occupation of Sulu Archipelago.

"As I traveled steadily for four-and-a-half years, owing to my duties as a Naval officer, any 
general account of my travels would prove too long. The following are some of the more interesting 
matters that readily occur to me: 

"In 1899 we visited the almost unknown, but destined some day to be famous, Crater Lakes in 
the Island of Cagayan Sulu in the Sulu Sea. With one exception we were the first white men who had 
ever seen this phenomenon — sailing, in a ship's cutter, right in from the sea, into the first crater. 

"In Christmas week, 1899, in a small boat, narrowly missed by a pair of waterspouts off Sandakan, 
British North Borneo. Hunted wild buffalo at Kudat, Borneo, in the same year. 

"Wrecked, in the U. S. S. Manila, on a reef off Sibutu, in the channel between the Sulu and Celebes 
Seas in September, 1899 — three days on reef before getting off. 

"In 1898 traveled in Ceylon; was present at the Festival of the Golden Tooth at Kandy, the 
ancient capital of Ceylon; this is one of the greatest Buddhist festivals of the world; saw a number of 
Thibetan priests there. Traveled in Egypt in the same year. 

"In 1901 traveled by 'ricksha and afoot in Central Japan; same year visited China. 

"In 1903 visited Santiago, the capital of Chile, South America; Andes, the most awe-inspiring 
mountains I have yet seen. In same year cruised in Straits of Magellan; was impressed with the size 
and number of glaciers there. It seems to me these have been very little written about." 

[From The Princeton Alumni Weekly, June 2, 1900.] 

Parts of a letter from David Potter, '96, now in the Philippines, to his classmate, Francis C. Mac 
Donald, '96, now of the Princeton University Library staff, are here printed with the permission of 
MacDonald — and without the permission of Potter. These two not only were on the Lit. together, but 
both being poets to this day, write better letters than most men. 

Dated U. S. S. Manila, Zamboanga, P. Islands, April 4, 1900. 

The other day at a place called Surigao, the extreme northeast point of Mindanao, we had a flag 
raising — previous to which our battleship had escorted thither transports containing the 40th Infantry, 
General Bates, etc. After the flag raising, as the soldiers presented arms to me (and the general) I 
heard some one say, "Hello! Dave Potter." It was Joe Righter, 2nd Lieutenant in the 40th. I was 
properly astonished of course to meet a classmate so unexpectedly. He told me of the triennial reunion, 
etc., etc. Joe looked very soldierly and business-like in his campaign clothes. Gordon Johnston has 
distinguish himself in some fights on the island of Leyte — he is a lieutenant in the 43rd, and lately took 
a town containing nearly 300 "insurrectors," with only seventeen scouts. He is chief of scouts and has 
had some hot times, as one might expect who knew him in his Sophomore days. Good enough for '96 ! 

Yes, we spent Christmas in Borneo, took another tour among the islands, and then went up to 
Manila for three weeks' rest. Since leaving Manila some two weeks since, we have seen the great 
volcano, Moyon, on the east coast of Luzon, in active eruption, visited Leyte and Cebu again, taken 
several towns in northern Mindanao, attended the slave market at Iligan and dropped in here in time 
to tell you about it. 

I see that Tarkington's book, "The Gentleman from Indiana," has reached its twentieth thou- 
sand. It deserves a hundred thousand, I think — there are many parts of it most exquisite, and most 
true. May he prosper! .... The only things I can write about nowadays savor directly of these 
islands — for instance, here is a verse from my latest. 

[Here follows a "lyric" not for publication, of which Mr. Potter remarks in continuation]. 

How's that for machine poetry? Or, if you prefer something characteristically sentimental 
(whatever that may mean) take "A Lapak Love Song" — 

[Follows Love Song not for publication.] 

By the way, how is the "Lit" progressing nowadays? Is its circulation about the same — are its 
expenditures as ever just a little in excess of its receipts — do the editors get as much row and fun out 
of it as we did? . 

Gee, O Gee, a year or so from now, when I come home again and, picking up as many of ' 'de 
gang' ' as possible, swoop down on you, strolling the "cloistered walks,' ' what a celebration we will have ! 
Bueno! Well rather! 

1 have just seen my first bull-fight. In the province of Zamboanga there is a larger admixture 
of Spanish blood than anywhere else in the islands. Also many pure Spaniards are still resident here. 
So this bull-fight was a picturesque scene — "the real thing" — with its toreadors and picadors and matador, 
its queen of beauty, and boxes full of "fayre ladies" — with flowers and scarf , with money and hats and 
cigars thrown into the ring — with its bands and uproar — its bravas and vivas. Nevertheless, it is a 
brutal and cowardly sport, in spite of the glitter of it all. * * *

JOHN PRENTISS POE, Jr. 

Fifth Maryland Volunteer Injantry. 

"I had been in the Fifth Maryland Regiment for over three years when war was declared, and had 
reached the high position of a corporal. We went to Pimlico (near Baltimore) on the 25th of April, 
and stayed there until the 19th of May, being mustered into the service of the United States on May 
14th. We left for Chickamauga on the 19th of May, reaching that place the 21st of May. Our regiment 
was ordered to Tampa from Chickamauga on Thursday, June 3rd, with seven other regiments, in a 
provisional division under the command of Gen. Snyder. We thoroughly expected to go with Shafter's 
Corps, but I have since been told that there were not enough transports to take the division. I met 
Ed. Munn, '95, and Gordon Johnston, '96, and Bernis Brien, '96, in Tampa. The two former were in 
the Rough Riders and the latter in the Fifth Ohio. We stayed in Tampa ten weeks, leaving there 
August the 15th for Huntsville, Ala., where we stayed about three weeks, reaching home September 
7th and being mustered out October 22nd." 

From September, 1899, to September, 1901, Poe was in the Twenty-third U. S. Regular Infantry 
in the Philippines. In January and February, 1904, he was in the Marine Corps at Panama.

"On April 26th, 1898, I enlisted as a private in the National Guard of Pennsylvania, in Co. G, 
12th Regiment, located at this place. On April 27th we were ordered to Camp Hastings, at Gretna, Pa. 
On May 12th we were mustered into United States service as Co. G, 12th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volun- 
teer Infantry. About May 20th we were ordered to Camp Alger, Falls Church, Va. On July 30th I was 
sent to the Divisional Hospital, and on July 31st to Fort Meyer Hospital, suffering with a bad case of 
typhoid fever. On August 27th I was about to be discharged, cured from the hospital and sent home 
on a thirty days' furlough, but suffered a relapse and was compelled to remain at the hospital until 
September 22nd, when I was discharged as cured and sent home on a thirty days' sick furlough. In 
the meantime my regiment was moved from Camp Alger, Falls Church, Va., to Dunn Loring, Va., and 
from there to Camp Meade, Middletown, Pa. On September 19th they were sent home on a thirty days' 
furlough, after which they were to be mustered out. On October 19th we were given a ten days' extension 
and on November 1st we were paid off and mustered out of United States service, our discharge being 
dated October 29th, 1898. At present (November 28th) I am still convalescing from my attack of 
typhoid fever, which I incurred during my service and from which several times the doctors gave up 
hope of my recovering."

Relief arrived here from Cagayan, bringing us our first mail since November 10th. Little did I think 
when I left Princeton in June, 1899, after attending the '96 triennial reunion, that the Philippine Islands 
would ever see me. On August 29th, 1900, I accepted a commission as Second Lieutenant in the Fortieth 
Infantry, United States Volunteers, and on September 4tli started on my way to "Frisco" to help or- 
ganize a battalion for my regiment. Arrived there on September 10th, and for a month was kept busy 
drilling men. During that time I ran across Garrett Cochran, '98, and "Ad" Kelly, '98, who were coach- 
ing the University of California football team. Witnessed one of their games, and they had a crack 
team. The students of the University simply idolized Garry, and you would take it to be a second 
Princeton, from the customs, spirit, and songs Garrett had infused into the students. Had many 
pleasant reunions while there. Also met Charley Cochran. '95, who had just returned from Klondike. 
On October 10th I was ordered to Fort Riley, Kansas, and there was assigned to Company M. On 
October 31st the regiment left Fort Riley for San Francisco and on November 22d we embarked on the 
transports Ohio and Indiana, and started on our eight thousand mile voyage to Manila. Our first 
stop was at Honolulu, where we remained three days, coaling. While there I tried to find the Water- 
houses, '96 and '97, but learned that they were away, so missed a pleasant time. Did not know until 
lately that "Beef" Turner, '96, was there. We arrived in Manila December 26th, and on December 28th 
were ordered out to El Deposito and the waterworks to do outpost duty. Here I got my first chance at 
"hiking" in the Philippines, and it is not what it is cracked up to be. From El Deposito we went to 
the camp on Mariquino road. One morning in January, 1900, about two o'clock, I was awakened by 
the sergeant of the examining outpost, who stated that there was an officer of Forty-third Infantry, who 
wanted to see me at once. I went to the outpost and imagine my surprise at seeing good old Gordon 
Johnston, '96, in the uniform of a Second Lieutenant, looking hale and hearty. Never was so glad in 
all my life to see a fellow as I was Gordon. We had a good long two hours' chat about old Princeton, 
triennial, classmates, etc. He told me of Dave Fentress' wedding, and the send-off he had before he 
left New York. Gordon is now on the Island of Leyte with his regiment and has made a great record 
for himself as chief of battalion scouts, which are known as Johnston's Scouts. Davis, of New York 
Sun, and Palmer, of Collier's Weekly, told me of his good work and bravery. On February 14th our 
regiment joined Gen. Bates' expeditionary forces to subdue the South Camarines. We arrived there 
February 19th, and the next day our regiment had its first fight at Libmanan, Luzon. It was a hot one. 
Another fight occurred at Lulud, Luzon. On March 22nd, 1900, our regiment, with Gen. Bates, started 
for Mindanao Island to occupy the parts on the northern coast. Our first stop was at Surigao. Before 
landing I received an order assigning me to B company, and appointing me Collector of Internal Revenue, 
Captain of the Port, Inspector of Customs and Engineering Officer at Surigao. We landed and the 
town was surrendered to us by Gen. Prudencio Garcia, ex-Governor of the Island. After the flag raising, 
among the naval officers I saw Dave Potter, '96, paymaster on U. S. S. Manila. He told me of Gordon 
Johnston, etc. Have seen him several times since, as his ship is on this district. On his last visit he 
told me that he had been to the Island of Jolo, where the Twenty-third Infantry is stationed, and had 
at last found Johnny Poe, '95. John, he says, is happy and contented with his life, but has seen no 
fighting. He told Dave that Nat Poe, '97, kept him posted on football, and he knew exactly how they 
were tackling and breaking through nowadays; that he intended to be at the Princeton -Yale game in 
1902. The officers of the Twenty-third Regiment didnotknow that John was the great football player, 
but thought he was some relative of the family. John has been doing special duty in post-office at Jolo, 
and said he saw a package from Jesse Snook to a soldier in the regiment, and upon looking the fellow 
up found him to be a Princeton town boy. Since arrving on this island, Mindanao, the Fortieth Regi- 
ment has had numerous fights, but the only one I engaged in was a skirmish at Mainit, July 21st, where 
we ran into some bamboo traps. We lost no men. About a month ago I met Richard M. Corwine, I 
think Princeton, '79, who is a Second Lieutenant in Thirty-first Infantry, and is acting ordnance officer 
for this department. Corwine enlisted as a private in Thirty-first Infantry on July 25th, 1899, and was 
appointed Quartermaster-Sergeant of his regiment. On October 25th, 1899, he was appointed second 
lieutenant. While here I showed him several copies of The Alumni Weekly which I had obtained from 
Dave Potter. On last mail I received a nice notice from Charley Bostwick, '96, notifying me of our 
coming quinquennial reunion, and also the pleasant news that I owed the class treasury 75 cents. We 
have quite a number of college men as officers in this regiment, Columbia, Harvard, Yale, Wisconsin, 
University of California, and Georgia being among those represented. The regiment has already had 
about fifteen fights. Am awfully anxious to hear result of the football game. Feel confident that we 
will win again. While in Manila I met Duke Cassels, '97, who is a Second Lieutenant in Seventh United 
States Artillery. He told me of Stockley, '98, being captured. 

Expect to be in Princeton next June for my quinquennial reunion and will say "A'Dios" until 
then. Give my best regards to all my classmates you meet. Wishing you success, I am 

Sincerely yours,

Smith studied in Germany and at the University of Pennsylvania, where he took the M.D. degree 
in 1901. In October, 1903, he passed the examination for Assistant Surgeon of the U. S. Army. From 
November, 1903, until April, 1904, he attended the Army Medical School at Washington, D. C, grad- 
uating with the highest honors. He was then detailed to active service in the Philippines, sailing from 
San Francisco April 30th. Upon his arrival in Manila, for a short time he had charge of one of the 
army hospitals within the city limits. After that, at different times, he had charge of several hospitals 
within a radius of one hundred miles of Manila. On January 5th, 1906, he was detailed to service as 
surgeon on board the U. S. Army Transport Logan. On February 5th he arrived at San Francisco. 
While the transport was in port for a month, he took a troop of cavalry to a fort in Montana. He 
sailed for Manila on March 5th, and expects to be in San Francisco again about May 15th. His term 
of service in the Philippines will expire next September. 

THOMAS HENRY ATHERTON STITES 

Private, First Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. 

" Early in April, 1898, believing hostilities to be inevitable, and thinking it my duty to signify my 
willingness to serve the country, I enrolled myself as a member of the National Guard of Pennsylvania, 
First Regiment, Company D, and on April 28th, in accordance with orders from Governor Hastings, my 
regiment proceeded from Philadelphia to Mt. Gretna, Penn., and there went into camp, bivouacking 
that night under any shelter which would protect us from the storm. 

" Within a few days I was detailed to the Regimental Hospital Corps, and upon May 11th, 1898, 
was mustered into the service of the United States as a private of Co. D, 1st Regiment Pennsylvania 
Volunteer Infantry. Continuing to serve on the regimental hospital corps, on May 15th I started with 
my regiment for Camp George H. Thomas, Chickamauga Park, Georgia, arriving there and going into 
camp on May 18th. About June 16th I received orders detaching me from the 1st Penna. Infantry 
and transferring me to the Hospital Corps, U. S. A., and was stationed with the Reserve Ambulance 
Company, First Army Corps, at Camp Thomas. After serving here for about ten days I was ordered 
(June 26th) to duty at the hospital of the Third Division, First Army Corps. In this hospital I served 
as nurse and ward master until August 4th, 1898, upon which date I received a furlough and started 
for my home, suffering from typhoid fever contracted in the hospital. The attack proving quite serious 
and convalescence very slow, I set about through friends to obtain an honorable discharge. Before, 
however, this could be obtained I was again transferred, October 1st, 1898 — this time from the Hospital 
Corps, li. S. A., to Co. D, First Penna. Vol. Inf., with orders to report to the Colonel of that regiment 
at Philadelphia, Penn., 'in order to be mustered out of the service of the United States.' The regiment 
was mustered out on October 16th, but owing to my inability to be present, my own muster out was 
delayed and it was not until November 8th, upon my presenting myself and undergoing the prescribed 
physical examination by the proper officers, that my connection with the army came to an end. 

" The service, especially that at the Third Division Hospital, demanded constant work, but my 
recollections of it are by no means unpleasant, though it was a great disappointment to me that I could 
see no active service at the front."

[From the New York Tribune, Saturday, March 17, 1906.] 
A DEED OF HEROISM. 

SOLDIER TELLS PRESIDENT OF INCIDENT ABOUT ANDREWS AND JOHNSTON. 

Washington, March 16 — President Roosevelt has received a letter which gives a picture of con- 
ditions confronting American soldiers. It also records a hitherto unknown deed of heroism. 
Theodore Roosevelt, President U. S. A., Washington, D. C. 

Dear Sir : I have the honor to write to you a letter to-day bearing on the character of an officer 
in our country's service whose name has been in the newspapers of late, connected with the recent fight 
at Mount Dajo, on the Island of Jolo, Philippine Archipelago. 

My object in doing so is this : I myself have been a soldier, having been a sergeant in Company 
A, Forty-third United States Infantry, in the Philippine Islands, where I came intimately in touch 
with Lieutenant Gordon Johnston, then in charge of our First Battalion scouts, and had the good 
fortune to accompany Lieutenant Johnston and the then Major Lincoln C. Andrews, of the First 
Battalion of the Forty-third Infantry, United States Volunteers (an officer who is true grit from boots 
to helmet, and a gentleman), upon the expedition known in official records as the movement against 
the insurgent fortifications of La Paz, Leyte Island, Philippine Island. 

This particular fortification was situated upon a mountain having three spurs, which was ap- 
proachable only by very steep trails running up to it some four miles from the valley at its base. 

General Ambrusia Moxica, of the insurgent forces, had concentrated a large force, and from his 
strongly fortified lair, which had been planned by an expert engineer brought from Manila, he would 
harass our small detachments stationed at different locations about the island, this being made quite 
easy from the location of the mountain somewhat in the centre of our various positions. * * * 

The irregular formation of the slopes of the mountain made the collective movement of any 
large number of men all but impossible, while the splendid fortifications and numerical superiority of 
the defending forces would have made a general assault a foolhardy trick, they having two riflemen 
to our one, and bolomen enough to give them a total defending force of fully twenty-five men to our one. 

Our officers, however, determined, after a spell of fighting, to give them a bit of strategy, and 
for this purpose Captain Curtis, of the Forty-fourth Infantry, U. S. V., was instructed to continue a 
strong firing from in front of the position on our spur of the mountain (the regulars, under Lieutenant 
McNabb, of the Tenth Infantry, but then attached to the Twenty-third, being engaged on the other 
spur, further around to our left), while Major Andrews and Lieutenant Johnston moved around to the 
woods on the right of our first position, taking with them Johnston's Scouts and my detachment of 
Company A men. 

Half a mile to the right of the main position, we came upon a ledge rising straight up into the air 
some twenty or twenty-five feet, which effectually cut us off from their position did we not scale it, 
and after a consultation Johnston and Andrews decided that we must know what was above, and I 
went up by the aid of some rubber vines to investigate, later reporting the facts evident to the officers, 
whereupon Lieutenant Johnston decided he wished to make a personal investigation and ordered me 
down over the vines, while he went up in my place. 

Major Andrews immediately ordered me to send two men along with Lieutenant Johnston, and 
before he had been absent five minutes, told me to help him up over the vines and send two more men 
with him. Perhaps fifteen minutes later one of the men returned and said that by order of Major 
Andrews I was to send three more men up to them, that they were to rush the fortifications on the 
upper part of the ridge just above them, and as quickly as I heard them firing I was to bring up the rest 
of the men. 

Immediately turning over the orders to Sergeant Black, of the scouts, I selected two men, and 
with them went up where the officers and the four men accompanying them were, when our little party 
numbered seven men and two officers. Major Andrews instructed the men what we had to do, and 
we knew that it was simply to follow him and Johnston into the works of the enemy, for he tersely 
informed us that our officers would lead the way, not send us ahead, and that we were to go up there 
quickly and then fight. 

Lieutenant Johnston begged of Andrews to allow him to lead the charge, for he told Andrews 
that he had no one at home to mourn him so deeply as had Andrews, with his wife of only a few weeks, 
whom he had to leave in the States, saying that Andrews knew well the fortune of war was death. Major 
Andrews, however, refused, and a moment later we made our rush, and the first man to enter those 
trenches was Lieutenant Gordon Johnston. 

We took the position, and, the other men coming up quickly, we took the second position, and 
while we had them on the run, got our spur of the mountain, and as it enfiladed a portion of the spur 
where the regulars were fighting, we drove the insurgents from the portion of the trenches of the other 
part of the mountain in our range. 

Very sincerely yours, 

No. 35 Congress street, Boston, March 13th. JOHN H. HODSDON

HENRY MUNRO BRLEN 

"BruEnsI/AIR," Taiku, Korea, Asia, December 8, 1905. 
"To 'Ninety-Six in the wide, wide world." 
My dear Classmates: — 

For three years I staid around the famihar parts, taking in a football game when the Tigers 
came to New York, or running down to see that the Old Town was still there. Then I took my departure 
to the "Far East," and have been on this side of the world now for the last six years, save for a visit 
home, in which I singled the globe and doubled myself. Returning with my bride via Europe and Suez, 
we began to drive down our pegs at Bruenslair. On February 1, '05, Anna Miller Bruen arrived. 

It gives one a sort of Rip Van Winkle experience reversed to suddenly step from New York in 
the twentieth century A.D. to the days of the patriarchs in the twentieth century B.C. And yet what 
was yesterday the twentieth century B.C. is to-day groaning under the first travail pains of AA^estern 
civilization. Arriving here in September, '99, I found myself on the edge of the tidal-wave of the " East- 
ern problem." There yet remained one old world kingdom untouched by the mighty wave which was 
lashing the western shores of the Yellow Sea. For one brief moment, the "Land of the Morning Calm" 
seemed secured against the on-rush. Arriving in Chemulpo harbor, I found that the American "iron 
horse," the advance guard and sure precursor of Western civilization, had nearly covered the distance 
of twenty-five miles to the capital. Climbing aboard with my faithful companion Mark, an English 
retriever brought with me from Seattle, he shared with me a delightful feeling of home as I read "A\'^ilm- 
ington, Delaware" on the inside of the car door. The great iron bridge across the Han River was still 
unfinished, so we transferred ourselves to a little "prairie schooner" on trucks and presently two nearly 
naked coolies steamed up behind and we were moving on. At the river bank we were taken "pig-a-back" 
to a ferry boat and poled across to the other side, where we found still another mode of locomotion in 
the waiting "jinrikshas, " which took us the last three miles up to the city. After some ten days stay 
here, returned by boat to Fusan, the southern port, and thence one hundred miles, a three days' journey 
by back-pony into the interior to Taiku. Passing under the great South gate, I presently found myself 
descending from my pony in front of the little thatched mud house that was to be my bachelor home. 
In February it became necessary for someone to go to the port to repack into portable sized boxes some 
elephant boxes from "Montgomery Ward," Chicago. It was the day before Washington's Birthday, and 
Sidebotham, a Princeton "Seminole, " and I started with a Korean boy and my folding canvas boat on a 
coolie's back and a small store of provisions and some bedding on another coolie, for the Naktong River, 
ten miles distant. The gathering darkness found us searching the banks for an inn at which we might 
put up. As none could be found, we finally tied up to an old river boat that was beached for the winter. 
As I stepped aboard, the first glance was reassuring, for the bottom seemed perfectly dry and over the 
middle portion was a thatched roof that would offer some protection. However, I was soon unreas- 
sured, as stepping out on the dry smooth bottom of the boat, my feet slipped out and I barely escaped a 
nasty tumble. What I had taken for the smooth dry bottom of the boat I found to be a sheet of ice 
covered with dust. Tearing off some of the thatch from the roof and placing it over the bow, we crawled 
up into the prow and, sandwiched in there with our boy, we managed to make out the night someway. 
Early morning found us stamping up and down the frozen beach, trying some homeopathic treatment 
on our stiffened limbs. Turning to our canvas boat, we found that some water had leaked in and become 
frozen over night. We turned the boat upside down and knocked out the ice, and having thrown in some 
thatch and replaced our goods, we started off. We had not gone more than five hundred yards when 
we found the boat was leaking badly. Landing, we removed our stuff and hauling out our boat we found 
a nasty tear in the prow. Getting out our repair kit, we set to work with a big needle and a piece of 
canvas to patch it. But it was powerful cold working before sunrise, and our stiff fingers almost re- 
fused to pull the thread. We were making some progress when my companion was seized with a cramp 
in his leg, and rising up quickly his foot caught in the thread and tore another rent which by dint of 
perseverance we finally sewed around, and smearing on oil we launched her and proceeded on our way. 
Twice we found the river frozen from shore to shore. Once, trying to break our way through, we had 
made a canal some fifty yards long till we reached a projecting rock, which obscured our path. We 
tried to get out on the ice, but while it was now freezing, the ice had rotted under the noon-day sun and 
would not bear up; so we tried to retrace our way to the open, rebreaking the ice which had frozen be- 
hind us, till at last we made our escape to the shore, where we had to carry the boat some three hundred 
yards to the open water below. The fourth day found us landing, and having secured a cow we packed 
our goods on her and started five miles across the hills to Fusan, which we reached without further ad- 
venture. After attending to business we hired ponies and returned overland. « 

Until last fall we were in most part shut off from the world, the only white people, with the ex- 
ception of two French priests, in the province and nearly the only ones who had ever been there. A 
year ago last August I was sitting in my study, when suddenly, as if suddenly awaking from a dream, I 
started to my feet at a sound so strange and yet so familiar. Was it possible? Was not this Korea? 
with its city walls and gates, its beggars and lepers without the gate? Rebecca might even now be seen 

63 



going to the well for water, Ruth gleaning in the fields behind the reapers, and sharing with them the 
noon-day meal. That sound of things seemed far away and so out of place in this patriarchal age. 
As the railroad whistle sounded again, surely the old top-knots turned over in their graves, for it meant 
that the Eastern question, which had been moving Eastward for a century, had passed the barrier of the 
Yellow Sea and was sweeping over the land of the Morning Calm, ere long to seek settlement from the 
Mikado's kingdom. 

With the sinking of the two Russian cruisers in Chemulpo harbor, the war was on and it seemed 
that Korea was, as so often in the past, to be the battle-ground of opposing armies. The Japs, however, 
moved with such rapidity and precision that the battle-ground was ever moving northward. Within a 
few weeks the Russians had retreated across the Yalu. We down here in southern Korea never saw 
hide nor hair of the Russians, and after the battle of Chemulpo no Jap troops were landed south of that 
point ; so that we did not see many Jap soldiers, the only sign of war being the feverish haste in the 
construction of the Seoul-Fusan R. R. The loading and unloading of rails went on continuously, day 
and night. With the opening of the railroad, we have felt ourselves to be again in the world, for now 
we have frequent visits from globe-trotters and friends. This fall we had the honor of entertaining 
Miss Roosevelt and party over night. From the governor down, the city turned out to show their 
appreciation. And speaking of notables, Hon. Billy Bryan, I hear, is now in the country on a trip around 
the world. With the incoming of the railroad, the Japs have flocked into Korea. They are not a 
very desirable class, especially the coolies. The Koreans have suffered a great deal from them. Stores 
have sprung up like mushrooms, until Japanese shops now line the principal business streets of the city. 
In Seoul there has been considerable disturbance with the high-handed way the Japs were seizing pro- 
perty and lands. Now we are living under a protectorate. The foreign legations are closed and all 
diplomatic business must be conducted through Tokio. What effect this will have on our work remains 
to be seen. 

As for my work here, it has been very encouraging. When I came six years ago there were 
less than half a dozen Christians in this province of a million and three-quarters ; there are now some- 
thing over two thousand. I have pastoral charge of a congregation of over twelve hundred, scattered 
among forty villages, and the work has been doubling yearly. I usually get around twice a year. This, 
with the class work in the city, keeps a fellow hustling. I always take my gun along and keep myself 
supplied with fresh game, though the Christians send in chickens and eggs and fruit. There are duck, 
geese, swan, doves, quail and pheasant throughout most of the year. We have large game, wild-hogs, 
leopards, and deer, in the mountains near us. Some of the boys who are in these parts are Ned Turner, 
Jim Cochran, Charlie Patton, Buck Waters, Maggie Mather, John Erdman and Will Lampe. Of these I 
hear from Ned and Jimmie occasionally. 

Yours for '96 and the glory of old Nassau, 

HENRY MUNRO BRUEN. 

P.S. — The Japs are putting two wide streets through the city and have already torn down places 

in the old city wall for them. There being as many outside as inside the wall. There are said to be some 

sixty thousand people in Taiku, which is the third city in Korea. Had a jolly Christmas. You know 

of our Princeton Alumni Association of Korea. I see a notice of our dinner in last Alumni Princetonian.

CHARLES EDGAR PATTON 

Patton is a missionary of the American Presbyterian Church at the Yeung Kong Station (Canton 
Mission), in Kwang Tung Province, South China. The territory in which he works measures sixty by one 
hundred miles, and contains a population of two millions. "Pat" superintends thirteen chapels, of 
more than six hundred members, and has charge of four schools and two hundred pupils. There are 
thirty-three members in the various stations of the Canton Mission. Patton has been honored with 
several offices, the chairmanship of the Mission (twice), the treasurership of the Station, and was Delegate at 
Shanghai, September 19, 1905, from Kwang Tung Province to the Committee on Union of all Presbyterian 
bodies in China. 

Charhe was married in 1899 to Miss Edith R. Carswell at Baltimore. They went to China that 
year. In August, 1900, at the time of the Boxer Rebellion, they were obliged to leave their station at 
Yeung Kong and go to the city of Macao, on the coast, for safety. Their little daughter, Edith Carswell 
Patton, was born in Canton, in March, 1902. Mrs. Patton died a month afterward at Canton, of cholera. 
That year Charlie returned to America for a six months' stay. His little girl is now living with her 
grandfather, Mr. Carswell, at Baltimore. 

Patton's bulletin of January, 1906, reports the massacre of five missionaries in the country near 
his station. He says: 

"It is about four days' journey down the river to Canton, although it requires about three weeks 
to go up from Canton against the river current. Couriers overland brought the news down in four days' 
time. There is a telegraph from Canton to Ying-tak about two days' journey from Lien-chow. The 

64 



news reached Canton Wednesday afternoon, November 1st. Thursday a relief party of native soldiers 
and three foreigners set out to bring down the two survivors. They were met en route, and all came in 
together. 

"As to the cause of this trouble, we are prepared to say nothing. Several theories have been 
advanced. An investigating expedition, under the Consul-General and a representative of the Chinese 
Government, went up to Lien-chow to investigate on the ground. Until their report is made public 
it would be unwise to anticipate. Nobody knows yet, and all statements are but guess work. 

"It is generally felt that this affair was entirely local. There is as yet no evidence to the contrary. 
On the other hand, the fact confronts us that a general and widespread feeling of soreness has been in- 
fused into the masses by the American boycott agitation. Whether it had any part in the Lien -chow 
catastrophe will doubtless be discovered later. The danger is, however, that when news of such affairs 
may reach other isolated parts, the ignorant part of the natives, who have learned something of the 
fact that all is not well between China and America, in their misconception of facts may cause trouble. 

"Withal we do not fear. God is omnipotent here as well as elsewhere. We cannot fathom His 
purpose in permitting such a blow to His cause here ; perhaps it is His prelude to a blessing — who can say? 
We trust Him to make all clear. We are taking every precaution possible, avoiding risks, working 
more quietly, cutting off some phases of activity for a time, and prayerfully, in duty's paths, awaiting 
His leading and further developments. So far as Yeung Kong is concerned, it never seemed more quiet 
and favorable to us. We are in close touch with the leaders of the people, with the officials and with our 
Canton friends, ready to act according to the emergency. We are assured of your constant prayers for 
our safety. In this, and the assurance of His presence and protection we feel safe." 




In connection with his work, Patton publishes the Yeung Kong Station Bi-Monthly, a little|pamph- 
let which is regularly sent to American friends of the mission. He sends us this picture of the pastor 
and four elders of the Yeung Kong Church.

WILLIAM EDMUND LAMPE 

tells of a part of his work in Japan in the following article, reprinted from the /a /law Gazette, Jan. 8, 1906: 
"Here in Sendai we hear much of the famine that exists in the surrounding country districts, but 
the city is only indirectly affected and while we have the poor always with us, their number has not very 
materially increased because of the famine. To see the worst, however, we do not need to go far. The 
chief of Kuribara Country, who is the brother-in-law of a very dear friend of mine, a gentleman who 
was a student with me at Princeton, recently made the statement that his county is the worst in this 
ken. Some friends having recently sent a sum of money "for immediate distribution," Dr. Forest and 
I went last week with this in hand, on the invitation of the head official of Kuribara County, to see this 
bad spot of the famine region. 



65 



"So far, relief works have not been begun except by a few philanthropic individuals, but after 
work is begun, even the able-bodied must rest many days, when snow is falling or on the ground. The 
nations of Europe and America do not as governments dispense charity, and here at this time in Japan 
there is as yet no provision for the sick and aged and those who, for any reason, cannot work. 

"For five years I have been secretary and treasurer of the Sendai community's poor relief com- 
mittee, which annually uses about three hundred yen among the poor of the city, and three years ago I 
was treasurer of the Miyagi Ken Famine Relief Committe. I know more than one poor family whose 
main food the year round is what is left over in the dishes of the soldiers in the barracks, and have 
seen many cases of poverty. Officials had recently given us samples of the food being eaten by the 
poorest of the poor, but I must admit that I was hardly prepared when we suddenly entered one house 
to actually see a child eating a mixture of boiled leaves and chaff. Breakfast had been made of this 
stuff by the whole family and there was still some left in the pot. Some of the food we saw on this 
trip was of a sickly green color and my stomach was almost turned at the sight of it. 

"Among the poor there are some who still manage to get a little cheap rice to mix with the daikon 
for one of the meals of the day, but we were in the homes of many who now have not a grain of rice 
even once a day. A large number of families are trying to live on an average of two sen per member 
per day. My experience with such people leads me to believe that it is not wise to give them money, at 
least not any large sum. Sometimes kind-hearted people do as much harm as good in their attempts 
to give aid. With the very poor, a little at a time is a good rule, so, no matter what the circumstances, 
we did not give more than one yen to any family. 

"We recently asked the chief of the Tax Bureau of these three ken what is the main cause of the 
poverty of so many people in this region, and he replied that while some are lazy and some wicked, the 
great reason is the size of the families. The whole world knows that the poor have more than their 
share of children. The Japanese have a proverb, bimbo ko takusan — the poor have many children. They 
have also a persimmon which they call bimbo kaki — poor man's persimmon, because it has very many 
seeds and contains very little that can be eaten. In Kuribara County the average family consists of 
more than seven members. One town we visited has a population of a little more than five thousand ; 
and seventy-three per cent, of all the families are said to be in need of aid. There are only two of the 
twenty-nine towns and villages in the county worse off than this. In one house into which we entered 
we saw a man who is trying to support a family of seven on about twelve sen a day, which he and his wife 
earn by making of twigs the bundles into which charcoal is put. He is a peasant and has no other 
work. Here is a family in real distress. The morning meal had been daikon leaves and bean husks." 

WILLIAM ARNOT MATHER 

Mather's family write of his work in China : 

"Of course, almost the only work a new missionary can do for the first year is to study the language, 
a very difficult proceeding. William studied his best and got along well. He soon began to help in little 
ways; also went on itinerary trips into the mountains, ninety miles away, with Mr. Killie, a veteran 
in the work. In this way one gets to know the Chinese better than in any other. Near the close of 
the second year, he came home to be married to Grace Burroughs, a classmate of his in the Hartford 
Theological Seminary. On his return to China, he took charge of the boys' school, teaching and having 
a complete oversight of everything. He goes, every Sunday, to an out-station, ten miles from Paotingfu, 
to carry on religious services there. He is able to preach in Chinese now, and is getting hold of the 
language well. He also goes off to this station in the mountains to preach and hold 'inquirers' classes,' 
as he has just done in the depth of winter. He is very happy in his work, and seems to think it pays."

SAMUEL ROBERT SPRIQQS 

Samuel Robert Spriggs is a missionary of the Presbyterian Church and a teacher in the Govern- 
ment school at Point Barrow, Alaska. This is the most northerly point in Alaska occupied by white 
people, and the third northernmost mission station in the world. Mail reaches there only once or twice 
a year. Trout writes about Spriggs' work in study of the Esquimaux language and translations: "The 
tribes at Point Barrow are probably of Asiatic origin. These Esquimaux have a distinct language 
which has not been reduced to writing. Spriggs has prepared for printing most of the New Testament 
and, while in this country, made some arrangement for its publication. He went back to Alaska largely 
for the sake of completing the work. So far as I know there is nothing in print about the work." 

66 



Spriggs wrote a long letter to Trout in 1904, most of which follows: 

Barrow, Alaska, July 21, 1904. 
My Dear John: 

My memory fails me as to whether I wrote you last fall or not. I rather think not. 

You know when I saw you last, we were to travel part way on the "Thetis." Instead we came 
up from Nome on a whaling ship, and lucky it was for us that we had the opportunity to do so, other- 
wise we would probably not be here, for the "Thetis" did not come up within two hundred miles of 
here, and we might have wintered down on Seward peninsula or some other equally undesired locality. 
The hand of the Lord was in our getting that invitation while in Nome to come up with the captain 
of the "William Baylies." Missionaries and whiskey proverbially are shipmates together, and you may 
be assured we did not break the rule. 

I hope never to be on a ship, too, when there is so much ice as we encountered. We were nearly 
crushed once, and well-nigh all on board thought it would be a case of "good-bye." That was a hundred 
miles below here. We had picked up a native woman whom we knew, who wanted to come up to this 
village. When we were in straits, I said to her: "When we break, you will put the baby in your 'atee- 
gee' won't you, and carry him as we try for the shore?" She could clamber and scramble over the ice 
far better than Mrs. S. or I could. She said "Yes," then added, "You will pay me well for this, I suppose, 
won't you?" Such are some of the people with whom we live and work. I would emphasize some, 
not all. 

But we reached here safely. The ship could get to within about a mile of the shore, and that 
distance we walked over the ice, part of which was moving floating cakes, to have tarried on which 
would have been to sink. So, safely landed ourselves, we sat down to wait the final disappearance of 
the ice and the coming of our supply ship — and we are waiting yet! But we did not go hungry last 
winter. One of the whaling ships outfitted to winter near McKenzie River. The Lord changed the 
captain's mind ; he decided not to winter, and so had a good, fair supply of household stores, from which 
he was willing to spare us some. This, with what we got from one or two other ships, at least met our 
needs. 

Our coal was on the "Thetis" and that of course failed us. That failure we met by getting 
some from the whaling vessels, some from the trading station situated here, and some from the coal 
banks about a hundred miles down the coast. Gospel and school work have gone on just the same 
as usual. We have added seven to the Church, with more than that yet to be admitted, who have asked, 
besides a good nucleus for a C. E. or Young People's Society for another year. 

The school has not been as large as some years, because many people have moved away to nearby 
settlements and some have gone across the river we all must go across, carried off by an epidemic of 
measles, the fall we went down. The reindeer prosper and multiply and are furnishing already some 
skins and meat for their owners. In course of time they will be a great source of food and clothing. 
Fawns come with yearly regularity, but whales do not always, and no whales means hard times — a 
condition existent at present. 

Next year ('04-'05) we will very likely be here alone again, as Dr. and Mrs. Marsh and family 
intend going out. Whether anyone will come to take their places I do not know — rather doubt it. So 
I shall be all sorts of things, Teacher, Missionary, Reindeer Superintendent, U. S. Commissioner (which 
unites Justice of the Peace, Probate Judge, Coroner and Notary Public!), and on occasion. Doctor. 

We received our two mails last year, one two weeks late, on February 15, the other April 20. This has 
brought us nearer the home land than before. The first mail brought me the sad news of my brother's 
death. He died of pneumonia, combining with typhoid fever. Father and mother and another brother 
were living, but I surmise the blow was a rather hard one. It has made the past months sad ones for us. 

The climate has been about as usual, not quite as cold, perhaps, as usual, nor quite as windy, 
and a very late spring. How would you like snow on your salad garden till nearly the first of July? We 
brought up some dandelion seed, thinking them hardy enough to grow indoors, possibly outside. We 
have had a few tender young leaves from them. Lettuce doesn't seem adapted to any soil I have found 
here yet. There stands beside me now while I am writing a fragrant carnation, with some five flowers 
now in bloom. These all grow indoors, of course, and they bask in the sunlight both night and day, 
when fog and clouds don't obscure, which is most of the time. 

Now we are daily looking for the ships. The ice is giving signs of breaking off; when it does, 
there will be a water way for the whaling ships to get around the Point and off to the eastward, hoping 
to find whales. While here we glean what news and papers we can from them. When you get this 
you will know that all this has transpired as usual. Our little boy is doing finely and is just as happy 
as any little boy down home. 

I must close now, ere I bore you. This letter is all about ourselves, but then I trust you will 
pardon it, as it is, I venture, your chief interest in Pt. Barrow at present. 

Your friend, 

S. R. SPRIGGS.

PORT OF PAPEETE, TAHITI 
American Consulate in Center, Distinguished by Flag-Pole. Mount Aorai in Background (Elevation 7,500 Feet) 



WILLIAM FURMAN DOTY 

William Furman Doty is United States Consul at Tahiti, Society Islands, French Oceanica. 

[From the New York Herald, March 10, 1906]. 
GREAT DAMAGE BY TAHITI'S CYCLONE. 

WIND BLEW AT THE RATE OF 120 MILES FOR SIXTEEN HOURS, FLOODING CAPITAL, DESTROYING AMERICAN 

CONSULATE AND SCORES OF BUILDINGS. 

Tahiti and the Tuamoto Islands, as already announced by cable, were visited by the most de- 
structive cyclone in their history on February 7 and 8. The wind blew at the rate of 120 miles an hour 
for nearly sixteen hours, spreading destruction throughout the archipelago. The disturbance was 
accompanied by a tidal wave, which swept over Papeete, the capital, the streets of which were inundated 
to a depth of many feet, so that the residents had to swim from their homes. Many of the smaller 
islands were completely covered, and the inhabitants had to take refuge in the tops of cocoanut trees. 
Seventy buildings were destroyed at Papeete, including the American Consulate, but the archives of 
the latter were saved, owing to the heroism of Mrs. Doty, the Consul's mother. The damage in Tahiti 
is estimated at $1,000,000, and a relief fund has been started in San Francisco to aid the sufferers by 
the cyclone. One report said that ten thousand islanders had lost their lives in the cyclone. 

[From the New York Sun, March 10, 1906]. 

Washington, March 9. — A mail report from William F. Doty, American Consul at Tahiti, Society 
Islands, which was visited on February 8 by a tidal wave, was received at the State Department to-day. 
Mr. Doty says that the water came up around the American Consulate, seeping under the foundations 
and causing the whole structure to collapse. 

The records were saved with the aid of half a dozen Mormon missionaries, who, Mr. Doty says, 
risked their lives in the work. The American Consulate is now established in rented quarters. Mr. 
Doty wants a new consulate constructed and forwarded plans for an appropriate building, which would 
cost $5,000. The State Department, on account of the lack of funds, is unable to do anything for 
Mr. Doty and it is likely that he will be forced to continue to live in rented quarters. Mr. Doty's per- 
sonal loss amounted to $1,000.

TIAPAERNE VALLEY, TAHITI 

American Consulate, Tahiti, Society Islands, February 17, '06. 
Fellow Classmates of '96: 

"laorana outonl" "All hail!" as the Tahitian would salute you, wishing for you health, hap- 
piness and all other good things. As I address you, from this remote South Pacific Island, I am some- 
what in the mood of a Tahitian overawed by the marvels of the "storm god." Less than ten days ago, 
a most destructive cyclone raged on this beautiful island of Tahiti, and throughout French Oceanica. 
The sea inundated the City of Papeete, lifting its waves ten or fifteen feet over the quay. Buildings 
along the water front, to the number of more than seventy-five, were swept away, including many fine 
Government edifices and mercantile establishments. Among them the American Consulate, that had 
sheltered my brother for fifteen years and myself more than three years. 

It was my misfortune to be in the district of Atriwaona inspecting a large sugar plantation, 
when the storm broke. Fearful that the Consulate at Papeete might be destroyed and the lives of 
my mother and sister and my brother's son might be in jeopardy, and perceiving that it was impossible 
to take a carriage, or even a horse, over the debris of fallen trees and houses, I started on foot in the 
morning and walked about thirty miles in nine hours. Nearly all the bridges were down, and the 
swollen streams were exceedingly difliicult to pass through. Having accompHshed half of the distance, 
I was confronted with an apparently unsurmountable barrier. The large iron bridge over a deep river 
in the district of Paea had been swept away, and to attempt to swim the river was to court almost 



69 



certain death, so the natives informed me. Two Tahitians volunteered to take me in a canoe to the 
other shore by way of the sea. In the midst of very large waves, we passed through the wreckage of 
the demolished bridge, and after a most exciting struggle reached shore again, and I continued my 
journey on foot. Great trees were bending over me as I hurried on in the storm. At length reaching 
Papeete, I found the Consulate destroyed, albeit the lives of my kindred had been spared. My library, 
however, and a collection of curios which I greatly prized, had been swept away. Nor can I, even yet, 
drive that storm out of my thoughts as we wait patiently day by day for news from distant islands, 
where it is feared that hundreds, if not thousands, have lost their lives. Such is a recent page from my 
diary. 

But Tahiti, in the words of Charles Warren Stoddard, is the "island of tranquil delight." The 
harbor of Papeete is usually as a sea of glass, and the ships at anchor look like ethereal fancies in their 
stillness. One loves to paddle out toward the barrier reef at the rising or the setting of the sun, when 
the air is almost cool, and look down from the canoe into the beautiful depths of the lagoon. Most 
weird and fantastic columns of coral, around which brightly colored fish and an occasional shark disport 
themselves, afford a never-ending recreation. When a more active mood holds the fancy, there are the 
large crests of the surf for the noble pastime of swimming and diving. When I am completely aroused 
from tropical lethargy, I climb among the mountains. On five occasions I have ascended the Aori, a 
peak about seven thousand feet. The scenery is truly beautiful. One clings to knife-like edges of rock, 
when a slip of the hand or foot might mean a fall of several thousand feet. With extreme care, one can 
reach the summit. This peak has been ascended only ten times as far back as the memory of the natives 
goes. There are splendid views to be had from lower peaks, which afford a suitable retreat, when one 
is weary of the gossip and the meanness and the stench of Papeete. Official formalities and the ren- 
dering of judgment in difficult cases involving the rights of officers and crews of vessels, and the investiga- 
tion of commercial conditions, make up the most of a Consul's life; and these duties are likely to call 
out all that is mean as well as all that is noble in the official's character. The Consular service is destined, 
I believe, to become the preparatory school for the larger sphere of American diplomacy. A university 
graduate who has ambitions to serve his country will make no mistake, in my judgment, were he to apply 
for a Consular appointment. 

But I have known other spheres of activity in strange contrast to Tahiti, and a Consulship. 
In the Adirondack mountains, in the prairies of North Dakota, on the ice-bound coast of St. Lawrence 
Island near Behring Strait among Eskimo, I have been a missionary of the Presbyterian Church. At 
the latter place I was an instructor and agent of the Government, making incidentally meteorological 
observations for the Navy and Agricultural Departments. During the first year, I had as a man servant 
a Norwegian, who did not speak English, and the English vocabulary of the Eskimo children was con- 
fined to terms of trade. The days were indeed lonesome to one like myself, unable to read, save for an 
hour a day, on account of weak sight. On occasion I went on hunting trips with the Eskimo far out to 
sea, and began to love somewhat their dangerous sport. The distress of the Eskimo was very great at 
times by reason of scarcity of food ; but a worse phase than that oppressed me, their proneness to commit 
suicide when under the spell of a demon, which severe pain always signified. While I was attempting to 
dissuade persons in comparatively sound health from taking their lives, in some never-to-be-forgotten 
instances the suicide took place in my very presence. Sadly, I have followed as a pall-bearer the re- 
mains of these unfortunates, wrapped in their winding sheets of fur, over the frozen plain and far up the 
steep icy slopes of a mountain to their last resting places. I cherished a plan in those days to secure to 
all American Eskimo, St. Lawrence Island as a reservation, believing that if the Government would 
place there a large herd of reindeer, that the fifteen hundred Eskimo, along the Alaskan coast, would 
find along with the St. Lawrence Island natives an excellent resort from whiskey traders and immoral 
prospectors in the mainland, who were bent on their destruction. Later, I am glad to say, a reindeer 
herd was located there. 

You men of '96 have one and all ere this settled down, doubtless, to your life vocations. Occasion- 
ally there have come to me announcements of marriages, and of the inauguration of business or pro- 
fessional enterprises. Not a few times I have been saddened, like yourselves, to learn that this or that 

70 



classmate has passed to his "final examinations." In three instances only have I met Princeton men 
at Tahiti. John Chetwood, '82, an attorney at San Francisco, came on the "treasure trove" ship 
Herman, with Capt. James Brown, on an expedition seeking to recover the Cocos Island buried millions. 
Chetwood is a fine fellow, an old-time "full back," when at Princeton. Bannigan, '03, a "Tiger" wild, 
was here about a year ago. We swam and strolled together and talked of Princeton. I am greatly in- 
terested now and again to hear of President Woodrow Wilson's success in the inauguration of the 
tutorial system. 

May some one of you fellows be President of the United States, and match Harvard's noble 
Roosevelt! Regretting that I cannot attend the "Decennial Reunion," and wishing for all of you good 
cheer and good fellowship and all good things for the University as well as for '96, believe me. 

Faithfully your classmate, 

WILLIAM F. DOTY 

[From The Princeton Alumni Weekly, May 3, 1902]. 
OUT OF THE EAST 

The following letter from the Rev. James B. Cochran, '96, written to a classmate from his mis- 
sionary station in China, is of interest to Princeton men, even if they do not know Mr. Cochran personally: 

"You maybe interested to know that this place is five days' journey overland from Nanking and 
six days from Shanghai. It is the place where we are likely to. be settled permanently. My wife and 
boy are still in Nanking, but I hope to bring them up here in the fall. Our party consists of my brother 
Sam, Morris '93, and a Yale '95 man, Lobenstine. The ladies are Sam's wife and mine and Lobenstine's 
sister. I do not know whether you see any of the papers which discuss the present situation in China. 
It is about as follows so far as we can judge. All returning missionaries and merchants are received 
with the greatest politeness on the part of the officials and much seeming, and in many cases very genuine, 
kindliness on the part of the people. China is perfectly aware that she was beaten last year. Reform, 
or a very fair bluff at it, is on foot. The object of this reform it is not so clear to see. For one thing 
there is a very large body of troops enlisted and being trained in modern methods of warfare. This 
was done to some extent before, but the authorities at last seem to have learned that the ancient Chinese 
weapons are not of the slightest use and are now aiming to have all their troops foreign armed and 
foreign drilled. There are also proclamations requiring the study of western sciences in preparation 
for the official examinations. One school of western learning has been established in one provincial 
capital and others are talked of. Of the sincerity of this movement we are not quite so sure. Now 
what is the future to be? The large number of troops can mean one of two things. (1) A desire to 
preserve the Empire against foreign encroachments. (2) War upon the foreign powers. Of course we 
hope it is the former, but if the latter should prove the case, there is good reason to suppose that China 
has learned a thorough enough lesson to lead her to carry on warfare in a more civilized way. For such 
a war in the future, she must need a considerable time for preparation, and in the meantime the intelli- 
gent men are learning faster than any Chinamen ever learned before, and it is to be hoped that they 
will catch up with the times. In the meantime we are doing all we can in the line of educating, preach- 
ing, giving them high ideals, and encouraging all forms of advancement. In this line we are soon to 
have a post-office in this place under semi-government control and can send our letters direct to America."

in 1898 and 1899. He debated against Cornell and Michigan. He also won second prize in the Frazier 
Prize Debate at Pennsylvania. 

Frederick Marshall Paul, in 1903, took an interesting trip in Canada, about which he writes 
in this way: "Canoe trip in Northern Ontario during summer of 1903. With a party of three others, 
I went up through the Chinacochichi Lake district, over the height of land and down the Upper Montreal 
River, a course which had been traversed three years before by a Government survey party, but not 
since. The country was as rough as could be desired, but extremely picturesque and interesting; most 
of our traveling was by water, with occasional portages of from one-half to one mile in length. Fish 
of all sorts in abundance and the country full of moose, bear, deer, wolves and small game. We visited 
several Hudson's Bay trading posts, where white people were quite a rarity. It is a magnificent country 
and well worth a trip by any one at all interested in outdoor life." 

John Moore Trout was editor of the Seminary Record at Hartford Theological Seminary, in 1899. 

George Dawes Van ArsdalE has patented a new process for extracting copper, which does 
away with the poisonous gases of the old process of treating the ore. This is a leaching or wetting 
process, and is particularly adapted to silicious or other ores not containing lime and not amenable 
to smelting. It does not, therefore, compete with smelting, but has a special field in which not much 
has been done previously. There is an account of this process in the Engineering and Mining Journal, 
June 6th, 1903, A reference to it appeared in the Queensland Government Mining Journal in May and 
June, 1904, and also in an article by Dr. E. D. Peters'in the Transactions of the North of England Institute 
of Mining Engineers. 

William Wiswell Verner was graduated with the degree of M.D., at the head of his class at 
Hahnemann Medical College, Philadelphia, 1901. He was a member, in 1902, of the Baldwin-Zeigler 
expedition to the Arctic Regions. 

Leon Joseph Wayave, Jr., Editor of Echo in Albany Normal College.

[From the Alumni Princetonian, December, 1898.] 
"At the Theological Seminary the announcement of the award of the Newberry Scholarship 
to F. W. Loetscher, '96, now a middler in the Seminary, was made by Rev. Dr. J. S. Mcintosh, of Phila- 
delphia, a member of the Presbyterian Board of Education. The Newberry Scholarship is a perma- 
nently endowed scholarship in the hands of the Presbyterian Board of Education, to be awarded every 
fourth year by competitive examination to a student in the middle class in one of the theological semi- 
naries. It yields the successful competitor $500 a year for three years, continuing through the re- 
mainder of his course, and for one year after his graduation. This is the first time in many years that 
it has come to Princeton Seminary. In his presentation address. Dr. Mcintosh said that in no ex- 
amination thus far held for the award of this scholarship had the candidates shown such signal ability 
and such rapid reading. As the two highest candidates showed such superior ability, the Board of 
Education had decided to apply certain funds in its possession to establishing a special temporary scholar- 
ship, which is awarded to Mr. J. B. McCreary, who passed the second best examination, which will 
yield $300 a year for three years." 

[From The Princeton Alumni Weekly, November 9, 1901.] 
"Quite a number of Princeton men go into railroading of various kinds each year, most of them 
being graduates of the civil engineering department. And they usually do pretty well. Two '96 men 
have recently received unusual recognition for their services to the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. This 
company gives several prizes for special merit. The Grand Prize for maintenance of way was recently 
awarded to the division near Baltimore, of which C. S. Heritage, '96, is assistant supervisor. This is 
the largest prize offered by the Pennsylvania Railroad. Mr. Heritage's portion amounts to $500. The 
New York Division Prize, offered for the best section of the part of the road that serves Princeton, was 
awarded to the Tacony section, of which George R. Sinnickson, '96, is the assistant supervisor." 

PRIZES AT HARTFORD SEMINARY 

[From The Princeton Alumni Weekly, November 23, 1901.] 
"Seven prizes out of a possible eleven have been won by three Princeton men during the past 
three years at Hartford Theological Seminary. J. M. Trout, E. S. Worcester and W. A. Mather are the 
men, all of them members of the scholarly class of '96. Of the five prizes awarded at the Seminary's 
commencement in 1899, each of these men won one, and in 1900, Mr. Trout won two and Mr. Worcester 
one. Two of these prizes are fellowships, yielding $600 annually for two years, to be spent in post- 
graduate study in America or abroad. In 1899 Mr. Mather took the William Thompson Fellowship. 
He has just completed two years of study on it and is back at the Hartford Seminary as Acting Librarian. 
Mr. Trout took the John S. Welles Fellowship in 1900, and spent one year in study upon it. Mr. Wor- 
cester took the Thompson Fellowship in 1901, succeeding Mr. Mather, and is now studying in Berlin. 
Another interesting succession in these honors happened when Mr. Worcester followed Mr. Trout as the 
winner of the Bennett Tyler Prize in Systematic Theology."

LITERARY ^VORK BY '96 MEN 

Jacob Newton Beam. (From The Princeton Alumni Weekly, March 26, 1904.) — "Dr. Jacob 
N. Beam, '96, of the department of German, is the author of a book entitled " Die ersten Uebersetzungen 
Englischer Komodien ins Deutsche im achtzehnten Jahrhundert," now in press at the publishing house 
of Leopold Voss, in Hamburg. This interesting work was the author's thesis for the Ph.D. degree, 
conferred at Jena last July. It will now appear as No. XX of the Theatergeschichtlichen Forschungen, 
which is a series of monographs on the history of the German stage, under the editorship of Professor 
Berthold Litzmann, of the University of Bonn. Dr. Beam's book deals with the appearance in Germany, 
about 1750, of translations from the works of the Restoration comedians — a movement growing out of 
and immediately following the period of translation from the French dramatists, and directly preceding 
the translation of Shakespeare's works and their adaptation to the German stage." 

[From The Princeton Alumni Weekly, February 9, 1901.] 

" Material for an unwritten chapter in that turbulent period of Princeton's history, the 
end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth centuries, is brought to light through 
some recent discoveries of Jacob N. Beam, '96, instructor of French in the University. In 
Lancaster County, Pa., Mr. Beam has unearthed a bundle of old letters, written home by two under- 
graduates of a hundred years ago, both of whom gained fame in after life, and one of whom was a can- 
didate for Vice-President of the United States. These old letters are of peculiar interest in themselves, 
first, because they give the details of one of the student riots that were so prevalent at that time — details 
set down on the spot by an eye-witness and therefore authentic; also because they show that the under- 
graduate a century ago was just as skilled as the undergraduate of to-day, in the short and easy path 
that leads to the goal Baccalaureus Artium. . . . The originals of these letters, together with some 
forty others written about the same time, are now the property of Mr. J. Watson EUmaker, of Lancaster, 
Pa., a son of the late Esaias Ellmaker, who was a younger brother of the two writers. Through the efforts 
of Mr. Beam, Mr. Ellmaker has kindly consented to loan the original letters to the University Library, 
where they will be placed on exhibition."

says there is abundant room for a new and valuable history of the State, and a rich mass of material 
which has never been put to use awaiting the historian. The Morning Herald instances family collec- 
tions of letters and manuscripts, the publications of the Filson Club and the various patriotic and his- 
torical societies of Kentucky and the libraries of similar societies in other States. Former histories of

Guard of New Jersey (1905), rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. 

[From The Princeton Alumni Weekly, March 11, 1905.] 
"Alexander R. Fordyce, Jr., member of the New Jersey Assembly from Middlesex County, has 
recently introduced in the New Jersey Legislature two bills, one an act for the establishment of forest 
park reservations in New Jersey and for the appointment of a State board of forest park reservation 
commissioners, the other a bill looking to the protection of excursionists from the dangers of excursion 
boats not properly protected against fire. Referring to the latter bill, the Newark News says: 'As- 
semblyman Fordyce, of Middlesex County, a lawyer practising in New York, has introduced in the 
Legislature a bill that gives evidence of a profound study of the difficulties involved in the drafting of a 
state law that shall fully protect New Jersey excursionists, without infringing upon the rights and 
authority of the United States. Apparently the young lawyer has not only studied ship architecture 
and the federal laws governing the licensing of vessels, but has made a thorough investigation of and has 
probably taken senior advice upon the limitations of State authority with reference to vessels carrying 
passengers from any of the docks in this State. In his bill Mr. Fordyce does not attack the vessels them- 
selves, nor does he attempt to abrogate the licenses which the government inspectors may issue even to 
combustible wooden hulks; but he does attack, in what appears to be a perfectly legal and effectual 
manner, the owners or agents of steam vessels and barges of every description who sell tickets or evi- 
dences of transportation privileges of any kind whatever, to citizens of New Jersey, thus inducing them 
to take passage on vessels not properly and adequately protected against fire.' " 

[From The Princeton Alumni Weekly, October 7, 1905.] 
"Here is an interesting editorial from the Newark Evening News of September 18: 'Middlesex 
County has rarely sent to the State Legislature either a Senator or an Assemblyman of the ability and 
general usefulness of Alexander R. Fordyce, Jr. A lawyer young in years but of acknowledged capabili- 
ties, a statesman of the constructive rather than of the imitative type, and withal a man having a mind 
of his own. He was an interesting and valuable member of the lawmaking body at Trenton. During the 
last session he introduced ten bills, among them the State forest reservation act, the fireproof steamboat 
bill, which, unfortunately, did not become a law; the school fund custodian bill and others of almost 
equal importance. But Fordyce incurred the enmity of Boss Strong, and will not be returned to the 
Legislature. Fordyce was valuable to the State, but he had the audacity to oppose the Middlesex boss 
upon two vital points. Fordyce announced that he would seek the nominaton for State Senator against 
Senator Jackson in 1906, and this was a threat against the boss's pet and could not be overlooked. To 
make matters worse, Fordyce was indiscreet enough to declare his sympathies for Everett Colby (brother 
of Howard A. Colby, '95), of Essex, in the latter's fight against machine domination. This was equivalent 
to a declaration of war against bosses and bossism in Middlesex County, and the penalty pronounced was 
political death. Fordyce was refused a renomination. To give a plausible face to the boss's retaliatory 
scheme, all the Assemblymen were turned down and an entirely new set was nominated ... In Middlesex, 
therefore, the boss is still in business, but if Assemblyman Fordyce will take hold upon his own account, 
as Mr. Colby did in Essex, he is likely to utterly overthrow the stronghold of bossism in his own county, 
secure the nomination for Senator and place Middlesex among the free bailiwicks of this State. . . . The 
Fordyce element in Middlesex is relatively the same as the Colby element in Essex, and bossism quakes 
at its presence.'"

[From the New York Daily Tribune, April 11, 1906.] 
FORDYCE A COLBY MAN. 

SEEKS NOMINATION FOR STATE SENATOR ON ANTI-BOSS PLATFORM. 

"New Brunswick, April 10. — Alexander R. Fordyce, Jr., who served two terms in the Assembly, 
in 1904 and 1905, and was defeated for the nomination for a third term at the last Republican County 
Convention, has announced himself a candidate for the Republican Senatorial nomination next fall. 
He has declared himself on an anti-boss platform and has begun a Colby movement in Middlesex. He 
will be opposed by the regulars, who will doubtless renominate Senator Jackson. Fordyce is a graduate 
of Princeton in the class of 1896. He lives at Dayton, and is a lawyer, practising in New York. In his 
platform he says : 'I have been requested to indicate my position with reference to the Senatorial nomina- 
tion next fall, and after due consideration, now desire to state publicly that I shall be a candidate for that 
ofifice and will make a campaign for the purpose of securing delegates to the Republican County Con- 
vention. In seeking this nomination it is my intention to appeal to the people directly, as I believe in 
government by the people and not by bosses; representation of and responsibility to the people, not of 
and to a boss. The boss representing not the people, but special interests, dictating party nominations, 
making public officers his puppets, usurps the sovereignty of the people and barters away their rights 
and liberties, to his own pecuniary profit. Bossism and graft, going hand in hand, have been undermin- 
ing the very foundation of representative government in this commonwealth. I believe that the people, 
with the scales fallen from their eyes, with an awakening sense of present evils and dangers yet to come 
from these vampires, will repudiate and throw them off entirely. I have sustained to the best of my 
ability the confidence of my fellow citizens in this county placed in me during my term in the Assem- 
bly; and if nominated and elected to the Senate I shall keep their confidence unsullied, be their repre- 
sentative in fact as well as in name, and shall look only to the advancement of the interests of the 
people of this county and State." 

William Strong McGuirE, Assistant District Attorney, New York City (1905). In charge of 
District Attorney Jerome's campaign in Second Assembly District, New York City (1905). 

Wallace Donald McLean, formerly (1898) in Treasury Department, Washington, D. C.

Fulton Counties, on May 6th, 1901, by Judge Archibald of the new federal court for the middle district 
of Pennsylvania. He has been the referee for Franklin County since February, 1900."

Algernon Brooke Roberts, State Senator from Montgomery Co., Pa.; formerly Assistant 
City Solicitor, Philadelphia, Pa., and Assistant United States District Attorney, at Philadelphia, Pa.; 
and (1900) Elector-at-Large, State of Pennsylvania; and (1900) President Board of Commissioners, 
Lower Merion Township, Pa. Roberts was the father of the Corrupt Practice Bill which passed the 
Pennsylvania Legislature recently. "Abe" has also been the originator of the modem Pennsylvania 
Road Bill and of the Bill which established for the State a Department of Health. He has been very 
active in his own township in Montgomery County and has at last succeeded in establishing a sewer 
system for the whole of Lower Merion, which includes all the places along the main line, and for which 
it was necessary to negotiate a loan for over half a million dollars. Such are a few of his achievements 
in constructive legislation. He has had in every respect a creditable career in the Legislature and he 
is already much talked of for higher honors. 

[From The Princeton Alumni Weekly, March 23rd, 1901.] 
"Algernon B. Roberts, of Philadelphia, has been appointed Third Assistant United States District 
Attorney of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, by Attorney-General Griggs. He was sworn in by 
Judge John B. McPherson, '66, on March 18th. Mr Roberts studied law for three years after being 
graduated from Princeton, and was admitted to practice in 1899. At the last National Republican 
convention he was a delegate from Montgomery County and later an Rlector-at-Large on the McKinley 
ticket. He has been for some time a County Commissioner of Montgomery County, and, till his recent 
appointment as an Assistant United States District Attorney, he was an assistant to the City Solicitor 
of Philadelphia. His father was the President of the Pennsylvania Railroad." 

[From The Princeton Alumni Weekly, December 20th, 1902.] 

"The following is from the Philadelphia Public Ledger: Roast Pig for Republicans. Senator- 
elect Roberts to dine his Kulpsville constituents. — Lansdale, December 9th ("Special). — Senator-elect 
Algernon B. Roberts, of Montgomery County, will to-morrow give a roast pig dinner to the residents 
of Kulpsville and vicinity. This is in keeping with a promise made by him during his campaign, that 
if they gave him 150 votes he would provide such a feast. His vote was just 150. One hundred in- 
vitations have been sent out to the leading Republicans of the township. The menu consists of roast 
pig, sauerkraut, vegetables, cranberries, apple sauce, pumpkin pie, mince pie, fruit, wine and cigars."

THE PRINCETON ALUMNI WEEKLY 

The story of The Princeton Alumni Weekly is a vital part of Princeton history 
of the decade since the Class of '96 was graduated. The Weekly was established in 
1900 as the successor of the old Alumni Princetonian, which, though good in its day, 
was little more than a reprint of such parts of the Daily Princetonian as were interesting 
to the alumni. But under the brilliant editorship of Jesse Lynch Williams, '92, and the 
able business management of the late John L. Rogers, '01, the W eekly soon showed that it 
had entered a much wider field. It was apparent from the first paragraph in the first 
number that the influence of the graduates of Princeton, through their alumni publica- 
tion, was to be felt in a wider sense than ever before. That paragraph started with the 
following significant statement: "The vital question of Alumni Representation is 
mentioned in another part of this issue. Even though the graduates of Princeton have no 
voice in the conduct of their college, as yet, they ought at least to know how it is being 
conducted; and how well. . . . The Weekly will publish a brief series of valuable 
articles, prepared for this very purpose. The first will tell of the finances of Princeton, 
showing the amount of endowments and their productivity, the total amount of income 
from all sources, together with average rates of interest and other financial facts, which 
cover the last twenty years, and which never have been made public before." 

From that first issue The Princeton Alumni Weekly became an important factor 
in voicing the opinions of the alumni in all fields of Princeton activity. The provincial 
habit of praising everything in sight was succeeded by a vigorous editorial policy. Only 
six months after the Weekly had begun its agitation for Alumni Representation in the 
Board of Trustees, President Patton made the following statement : " I count it the supreme 
honor of my life to announce that Princeton University gives to her sons to-day, scattered 
over the wide world, the right of large representation in her Board of Trustees. I regard 
this as the most important and influential announcement I have ever had the honor to 
make as President of this institution — even more far-reaching in its effects than the 
announcement made in 1896, when the College of New Jersey became Princeton Uni- 
versity." And ever since its establishment the Weekly has stood for clean sportsmanship 
in intercollegiate athletics. 

The primary object of the establishment of the Weekly was to keep the alumni 
in touch with their alma mater, to keep the campus world in touch with the alumni, and 
to keep the alumni in touch with each other. By so doing, it has quickened the interest 
of the entire Princeton family in their University, it has promoted the extensive organiza- 
tion of Princeton alumni throughout the world, it has drawn them closer together, and 
it has contributed no small part to the period of remarkable development of the Uni- 
versity, which is now going forward under the able leadership of President Wilson. 

At its inception, the Weekly was financed by a group of generous alumni. It 
required three years to place the paper on a self-supporting basis. Meantime, by a 
canvass of all the alumni, and by the helpful co-operation of some energetic class 
secretaries, the subscription list has been more than quadrupled, and the advertise- 
ments have increased in proportion. 

'Ninety-Six men have always been loyal supporters of the alumni publication. 
In the winter of 1902-3 the Class Secretary undertook a thorough canvass of the class 
in behalf of the Weekly, which resulted in placing 'Ninety-Six in first place on the 
subscription list, of all classes graduated before the establishment of the paper. That 
position the class has continued to hold, though there is still room for improvement. 
There are at present one hundred and one subscribers to the Weekly from the class, 
which puts it fifth among all the classes graduated, the Classes of '05, '04, '03, and '01 
leading in the number of subscribers, in the order named.

History of the Princeton Club 
of Philadelphia 



TN the early Fall of 1897, Algernon B. Roberts, '96, called together a number of Prince- 
''- ton men residing in Philadelphia and submitted to them a plan for the organization 
of a Princeton Club. The suggestion met with general approval and received from the 
outset the earnest support of both George R. Van Dusen, '77, and Philippus W. Miller, 
'79, who were at that time among the most active of the Philadelphia alumni. As a 
result of this informal conference, a circular was mailed to a large number of the grad- 
uates of Princeton in and about Philadelphia. 

The object of the Club, as stated in the circular, "Was to promote the interests 
of Princeton and foster good-fellowship among Princeton men ; and also to provide a 
suitable place for Alumni meetings, smokers, etc." 

The responses to the circular were so favorable that a charter for the Club was 
applied for and was granted by Judge Craig Biddle, '41, at that time the President of 
the Philadelphia Alumni Association. 

A home for the Club was first obtained at 1628 Chestnut Street, and the clubhouse 
was formally opened in February, 1898. 

In April, 1899, the Club moved to a more commodious clubhouse, at 117 South 
Seventeenth Street. The neighborhood, however, was soon found unsuitable for club 
purposes, and on March 1, 1900, the Club moved to 1417 Walnut Street. 

In February, 1901, Philippus W. Miller, '79, resigned the Presidency, feeling that 
the Club had justified the hopes of its founders and had taken a permanent place among 
the Princeton Alumni in Philadelphia. Alexander Van Rensselaer, '71, was elected 
to succeed him. 

In February, 1903, a plan was adopted by which the Princeton Club and the Prince- 
ton Alumni Association of Philadelphia were merged into one body, under the name of 
the "Princeton Club of Philadelphia." 

On March 21, 1905, the Club moved to its present home, 114 South Fifteenth 
Street. 

It seems impossible to one who saw the empty barn-like store on Fifteenth Street 
when Wheeler, '96, as a last resort, suggested it for our Club home, that out of such 
material could have evolved our present cozy quarters. For this marvelous development 
we have to thank the taste and ability of "Texas" Potter, '96. In his hand the cold 

98 



show-window was transformed into a cozy-corner, slightly elevated above the level of 
the room; the long and narrow store was divided into two parts, the front a lounging 
room and cafe, the back a small but cozy dining room; the walls, treated in orange and 
black, have added warmth and color; the deep easy chairs are invitingly comfortable 
and the special collection of Princeton prints and pictures calls up memories of the old 
happy days. 

Here every day between one and two can be found a faithful band who with 
almost clock-like regularity gather in the cozy dining room. "Beef" Wheeler getting 
a bite of lunch, but keeping his ear toward the nearby telephone, lest the market should 
break during his absence; "Joe" Rosengarten, bowed under a weight of responsibility, 
but proud of the greatest chemical combine in the world; "Abe" Roberts, who, when not 
discoursing at Harrisburg, orates to the lunch club with that steady stream of words 
which refuses to hear any sound save its own dashing (to adopt a quotation from ' ' Thano- 
topsis"). These are a few of the "steadies" from '96, and I am sure all of them will 
testify what a delightful break in a day's work this lunch hour at the Club has been. 

There are twenty-two active members from '96; and ten non-resident members. 
The total resident membership of the Club is about 256. The Club, among its other 
activities, has given a series of Princeton lectures and every winter is in the habit of having 
"smokers" from time to time with addresses from Princeton graduates or professors. 
The '96 men have been among the most active men in the Club, from the time when 
Abe Roberts first suggested the idea, until the time when Beef Wheeler found us our present 
quarters after all others had failed. Roberts and Morris have been on the Board of 
Governors almost continuously since the organization of the Club, and at present Wheeler, 
Roberts, Rosengarten and Morris are members of the Board.

THE PRINCETON CLUB OF NEW YORK 




The Princeton alumni in New 
York City founded the Alumni Associ- 
ation in 1866. This was merged into 
a club in 1886, and for a number of 
years after that time occasional meet- 
ings and banquets were held for the 
promotion of Princeton interests. The 
University Club of New York is of 
long standing, but is not available 
for many men, for a variety of 
reasons. In 1892 the University Ath- 
letic Club was founded as a club for 
younger men recently out of college. 
A great many of the younger Prince- 
ton men belonged to it. 

Graduates of the class of '95 
started the "Princeton House," and 
had rooms in West 24th Street. It 
was their intention to enlarge this 
club by adding the younger alumni 
as they were graduated. 'Ninety- 
Six men also joined that club. It did 
not prove very successful, however, 
as it did not afford the comforts and 
conveniences of a permanent club- 
house, the attempt to bring the men 
together being made only once a week. 
About the year 1897, the Yale and Harvard Clubs started permanent club- 
houses of their own. This resulted in the resignation of many of the younger gradu- 
ates of these colleges who had been in the University Athletic Club. So many of 
those remaining were Princeton men, that they thought it would be desirable to have 
their own clubhouse too. 

Accordingly, in June, 1899, the Princeton Club of New York secured possession 
of the old Vanderbilt House, on the corner of Thirty-fourth Street and Park Avenue. 
It has occupied the present house ever since that time, with the exception of a few 
months in the summer of 1902, when it had temporary quarters in the Waldorf-Astoria, 
owing to changes in the clubhouse. The club will be in its present home for another 
year yet, but it is probable that a permanent clubhouse will be a thing of the near future. 
The club has all the comforts and conveniences of the permanent city club. Many 
men live there. The club has about 1,400 members, including about 600 non-residents. 
The men who patronize the club most largely belong to classes contemporary with '96. 
Our class is second on the list of membership. We have eighty-five members, includ- 
ing residents and non-residents. Since the club has been in its present quarters, 
the following '96 men have been among its officials: McLanahan, Secretary; Turnbull, 
Treasurer; Bostwick and Kilpatrick, members of the Committee on Admissions; Kil- 
patrick, Chairman of House Committee.

THE ENV/RONS 

o" PRIl^CETON ^''o 

THE LAKE 




THE PRINCETON LAKE 



In the spring of 1903, Mr. Carnegie made a visit to Princeton, in company with 
Mr. Howard Russell Butler, '76. When crossing the railroad bridge at the canal, 
Mr. Carnegie turned to Mr. Butler and asked him why the College had not cleaned up 
the swamp along the canal, which he thought was a menace to health and an unsightly 
blot on the landscape. Mr. Butler replied that it had been the intention, for a great 
many years, to build a lake in the valley, if the money could ever be raised. Mr. Carnegie 
seemed to be taken with the idea, and told Mr. Butler to find out what the scheme would 
cost. An engineer was appointed, and in the fall of 1903 bids were asked from a number 
of contractors. I was in Philadelphia, spending Sunday, and happened to see in one 
of the papers that the contract was about to be closed. I immediately got into com- 
munication with Mr. Tainter, one of my partners, and after getting permission, we sub- 
mitted our figures later in the week. Mr. Tainter was familiar with the project, as he 
had made an independent report for Mr. Pyne some years previous, before Mr. Carnegie 
became interested. Eleven bids were received, and on December 24th, 1904, a little 
over a year after we submitted our figures, the contract was given to our firm. 

The lake will be, approximately, three and three-quarters miles long, the lower 
end of it being at Kingston, and the upper end at the Pennsylvania Railroad crossing 
in the valley. Its width at the upper end, where excavation was necessary, is from 
300 to 400 feet; but at the aqueduct, and from there to Kingston, in some places it is 
1,000 feet wide. The water for the lake will be supplied by Stony Brook and the Millstone 
River, the combined water-shed of these two brooks being approximately 240 square 
miles, which will furnish abundant water. 

A dam at Kingston will back the water up and a lake of some eighty acres will be 
formed over across the canal in the little hamlet of Aqueduct. The majority of houses 
in this little village have been torn down, as the back water would flood them. The 
entire area of the lake is approximately 300 acres. 

The dam at Kingston is about 750 feet long, running from the tow-path of the 
canal, westward, almost to the main Kingston Turnpike. The trench was excavated 
down to rock, and in some cases the footings extend ten feet in the rock. The material 
used is concrete, reinforced by heavy steel I-beams. Two forty-eight-inch gate-valves 
are provided, for lowering water, in case it is necessary. 

We commenced work on the second of January, 1905, and our first efforts were 
directed toward clearing up the very heavily wooded bottom land between Harrison 
Street (which you will remember is the street running toward the canal near Evelyn 
College and which crosses the canal at Packer's Bridge) and Kingston. There were 
about 170 acres of the thickest growth of pine oak, willows, etc., and an almost impassable 
thicket of underbrush. According to the contract, we had to dispose of the stumps, and 
in order to accomplish this object, we found that burning was the quickest method, so 
after the roots of the trees were grubbed and cut, the trees were pulled over by means 
of mules, and sawed or chopped up, and the stumps placed on top, then the pile was 
fired. After this was done, we started the excavation between Harrison Street and the 
Railroad Bridge. This called for the removal of about 200,000 yards of earth. 

Our contract also called for the erection of two bridges — one at Washington Street 
and the other at Harrison Street. We submitted the designs for the Washington Street 
Bridge, which were accepted. The bridge will be of reinforced concrete, faced with 
New Jersey granite. It will have four arches of 100 feet span each. The Harrison 

103 



Street Bridge is of reinforced concrete, but faced with steel beams. The work was prac- 
tically finished by the first of December, 1905, which was the time set ; but delays caused 
in getting the necessary sanction from the authorities of Mercer County to these changes, 
made it impossible to finish the bridges, and so the lake will probably not be completed 
before the middle of the summer of 1906. 

The lake, when completed, should be a great boon to Princeton men, as it will 
give an opportunity in the summer time for sailing or rowing, and in the winter time for 
hockey, ice boating, etc. It is not the intention, at present, to form a University Crew; 
but rather to encourage the love of boating among the undergraduates. To this end, it 
has been proposed that interclass and interclub contests be arranged ; but no one doubts 
that ultimately, should we show proficiency in the sport, a University Crew will be the 
natural result. 

John D. Kilpatrick, 

Secretary of the Hudson Engineering and 
Contracting Company of New York. 

[From The Princeton Alumni Weekly, January 14, 1906.] 

The accompanying full-page topographical sketch of the University and the environs of Princeton 
shows the new Princeton Lake, to be built along the north side of the Delaware and Raritan Canal from 
Princeton to Kingston — the generous gift of Mr. Andrew Carnegie — the contract for which, with the 
Hudson Engineering and Contracting Company, of New York, was recently signed. During the past 
two years the site of the lake has been acquired and surveyed, and the work of clearing the timber and 
the undergrowth along the meadows bordering Stony Brook and the Millstone River has already been 
started, at the northern end, near Kingston. During the present winter it is expected that this part 
of the work will be completed, and it is hoped that by a year or so the lake will be finished. After the 
frost is out of the ground in the spring, about two feet of the present top-soil of the meadows will be 
removed and a layer of dead soil will be spread, for the bed of the lake, to prevent the growth of vegeta- 
tion. At Kingston a large concrete dam is to be constructed, to hold the combined water of the Mill- 
stone River and Stony Brook. It is to be 600 feet in length, extending from the canal towpath to the 
macadam road leading from Kingston to Princeton, and twenty-seven feet in height, seventeen feet 
below the ground and ten above. With this dam for a barrier, the Millstone River and Stony Brook 
are to be backed up from Kingston to the lower border of the University campus at Princeton, giving a 
sheet of water about three miles and a half in length and about 800 feet across at its widest point, the 
embankment of the canal (where the towpath runs) forming one border of the lake, and the high ground 
opposite, toward the old Princeton and Kingston turnpike, forming the other border. The water will 
be kept alive, at a depth of about eight feet, by the inflow from Stony Brook, the Millstone, and the 
smaller streams emptying into them, and there will be a considerable overflow above the dam at King- 
ston, forming a beautiful waterfall of considerable volume during the spring floods. Altogether it is 
estimated that about 1200 acres of meadow and farm land will be flooded. 

This enterprise has no official connection with Princeton University, but is undertaken by a private 
association, which has also secured the old Kingston grist-mill property, to be maintained partly as a 
picturesque feature and partly for the convenience of the farmers in the vicinity. The lake is to be 
stocked with game fish, and there will probably be a race-way and lock connecting it with the Delaware 
and Raritan Canal, so that light-draft boats may come to Princeton by way of the Delaware River at 
Trenton and the Raritan River at New Brunswick. The many advantages to Princeton of having 
such a fine body of water nearby are obvious, even though it may not seem advisable for the University 
to undertake the development and maintenance of crews for intercollegiate rowing.

PRINCETON'S ARCHITECTURAL CHANGES, IN THE 
UNIVERSITY AND THE TOWN 

In writing this article I assume that there are some 
of our classmates who have not revisited Princeton since we 
graduated, and that some others, who have been here only 
rarely, have no clear and distinct idea of all the changes 
which occurred. For such I wish to describe those develop- 
ments in buildings and architecture, which, in many places, 
have made the Princeton of this decade seem so different 
from that of the last. For the detailed facts of construction, 
architecture and cost I am indebted to the University 
Catalogue and to The Handbook of Princeton, published in 
1905 by Mr. John Rogers Williams, the General Editor of 
the Princeton Historical Association. 

When one revisits his former home and familiar 
haunts the absence of old well-known faces, associated with 
those scenes, at first makes more impression than the pres- 
ence of those whom one must look upon as strangers. Such 
must be the impression of a has-been who comes back to 
the old "Burg." Of all those people who were here when we graduated but a very small 
proportion is left. Inclination and truth both compel me to say that the present crowd 
of Princetonians compares more than favorably with the old one. Just spend a few days 
or a week watching them and you'll be convinced. However, the general statement 
at the beginning of this paragraph is not meant to apply to people. I was told to write 
about buildings. I must deal with bricks rather than brains.

THE NEW LIBRARY (Winter View) 

In the middle of the campus two famihar structures have disappeared. For, as 
you all remember, it was announced in May, 1896, that an unnamed friend (Mrs. Percy 
Rivington Pyne) of the University had, as the first sesquicentennial gift, donated the 
sum of $650,000 for the building of a new library, and also that this new library would be 
joined to the Chancellor Green on the south, thus necessitating the destruction or removal 
of Old Chapel and East College. It was felt by many that it was a poor policy, when 
more dormitory accommodation was needed, to demolish East College, and the proposal 
was made to move it elsewhere on the campus. To do this, however, was found to be 
impracticable. In the summer of 1896 Old Chapel disappeared and excavations for 
half of the library were begun. The next summer East followed. 'Ninety-Seven used 
her doors and woodwork for their graduation-night bonfire. The removal of Old Chapel 
and East College has often been referred to as the "Crime of '96." 



lOS 



The new library has a capac- 
ity of 1,200,000 volumes, is built 
around an inclosed quadrangle, of 
IvOngmeadow stone, in the style of 
the Gothic architecture of Oxford, 
from plans designed by William A. 
Potter, who was the architect of 
Alexander Hall. It is connected 
with the Chancellor Green Library, 
now a reference library open to 
students, by a passageway in which 
are the catalogues and delivery 
desks. The western archway over 
the road leading through the court 
is adorned by statues of President 
Witherspoon and McCosh; on the 
south side of the tower, facing 
Whig, is a statue of Madison, and 
facing Clio, on the west, one of 
Ellsworth. The book-stacks of the 
library are around the inner quad- 
rangle. The outer corners are de- 
voted to Seminary rooms contain- 
ing special libraries of the different 
departments. 

Blair Hall* is the first of 
the new dormitories built in the 
Collegiate Gothic style, which seems 
to have been adopted for all sub- 
sequent campus buildings. Blair 
was made possible by a gift of Mr. 
John I. Blair, of $150,000. The 
architects were Cope and Stewardson. The material is known as Germantown white 
stone, of which all the later buildings on the western boundary of the campus are con- 
structed. 

In the spring of 1898, Mr. Henry Stafford Little, of the class of 1844, gave $100,000 
for the construction of a dormitory to be of the same style as Blair Hall and to be a con- 
tinuation of the same. Work was begun during that summer and the building was 
ready for occupancy in February, 1900. The plans were drawn by the same architects, 
Cope and Stewardson, who designed Blair Hall. These two dormitories are of harmoni- 
ous design and are separated only by the "Tiger gateway" which leads to the railroad 
station. Three years later, Mr. Little gave another sum, equal to the former one, for the 
completion of Little Hall. Work was begun at once, the new addition being completed 
and ready for occupancy in the fall of 1902. Soon after the second part of Little was 
begun, ground was also broken for the new gymnasium which, at a cost of nearly $300,000, 
was erected as a gift of the Alumni of the University. It was ready for occupancy in 
the fall of 1903. The architects were Cope and Stewardson. The gymnasium joins 
Little Hall on its north and west sides and the Brokaw building on its south. By this 
means the swimming tank is available to all who use either the gymnasium or the tennis 
courts and baseball diamonds on the Brokaw field, and it thus becomes the center of

the athletic activity of the University. The main floor of the building is 166 feet 
long and 101 wide. There are no pillars or obstructions, for the roof is supported only 
by the side walls. In the gallery there is a running track of 170 yards, or ten laps to 
the mile. In the basement are dressing rooms and locker accommodations for about 
two thousand men. The entrance is through a spacious trophy room, finished in English 
oak, flanked with smaller rooms for committee meetings, and for fencing and boxing. 
The building is surmounted by a tower after the pattern of the Blair Hall tower, but 
higher and more slender. 

The Casino was moved to the west side of the railroad track a few years ago to 
make room for the new Little Hall and the gymnasium. It is no longer used for dances, 
which are held in the new gymnasium, but it is still valuable for the Triangle Club per- 
formances, indoor tennis in the winter, and in addition, as the armory of Company L 
of the New Jersey National Guards, whose captain is Professor William Libbey. 

Directly south of the Brokaw Building and tank is the University power-house. 
It is in the basement, on a level with the tank, and its roof forms a lower terrace, as the 
roof of the tank forms a higher one, both of which are very convenient and much used 
when dances are held in the gymnasium. The Power Company was formed in 1902 for 
the purpose of providing more economically for the heating and lighting of the entire 
University. As a result, all the campus buildings are heated with steam and lighted with 
electricity. The heating plant consists of six boilers of a total of 1,700 horsepower. The 



110

most of the steam produced is sent through large underground tunnels leading to all parts 
of the campus. A by-product, however, of this steam heat is the electric light produced 
by a plant which consists of three powerful two-phase alternators and adjunct machinery. 
The entire electrical equipment is available, for purposes of study, to the members of 
the department of electrical engineering. Just below the Brokaw and Brown Hall is 
Patton Hall, now in course of erection. 

On crossing to the other side of the campus to observe the changes there, we notice, 
south of the new library, and of a kind of stone and style of architecture conformable 
to it, Dodge Hall,* built in 1900 as a gift of Mr. William Earl Dodge and his son, Cleve- 
land H. Dodge, of the class of 1879, in memory of the late William Earl Dodge, of the same 
class. It is in reality an addition to Murray Hall, containing four rooms for the religious 
meetings of the four classes, reading rooms, committee rooms, and apartments for the 
general secretary of the Philadelphian Society. The architects were Parish and Schroe- 
der, of New York. 

In 1899 an addition was built to the Isabella McCosh Infirmary to the west of 
that building and connected with it by a long two-story passageway. This is intended 
to accommodate any students suffering from contagious diseases, and requiring isolation. 
The style of architecture is in conformity with that of the main building.

TOWER OF '79 HALL 



The most notable addition, however, 
to this eastern section of the campus is the 
new red-brick dormitory occupying a posi- 
tion along Washington Road between the 
electrical school and the infirmary, and 
knowri as 'Seventy-Nine Hall. The trim- 
mings are of Indiana limestone. The style 
of architecture is the Tudor Gothic, the 
architect Mr Benjamin W. Morris, Jr. This 
building, a gift of the class of 1879, was 
presented to the University in 1904 on the 
occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of 
the graduation of that class. The ground 
was broken for it October 25th, 1902, the 
day on which Woodrow Wilson was in- 
augurated President. The Hall was built 
at a cost of $110,000, and provides accom- 
modation for about fifty men, sons or rela- 
tions of the members of the class of '79 being 
given the preference. It consists of two 
long, low wings, flanking an irregularly 
turreted tower, which stands exactly at the 
head of Prospect Avenue. An archway 
leads through the tower to the campus side of 
the building where the entries to the dormitory rooms are. Above the archway in the 
tower is a large room to be used as an assembly-room during reunions of the class. 

Just north of McCosh Walk, and extending its whole length from Washington 
Road and Marquand Chapel, as well as including an L of more than one hundred feet 
on Washington Road, is now rising a new recitation hall, to be known as McCosh Hall. 
The plans were prepared by Raleigh C. Gildersleeve, of New York. The architecture 
will be, as in the case of all the later buildings, the Tudor Gothic, and the hall will 
probably be constructed of brownstone to conform with the neighboring buildings. It 
will form the southern and part of the eastern boundaries of the new "Chapel Quad- 
rangle." 

Along Nassau Street, on the University side, the only change to be noticed, except 
the removal of several of the dwelling houses, is the newly-built Fitz Randolph Gateway.* 
This was erected last year at a cost of $20,000 as the gift of the late Augustus Van Wickle, 
of Hazleton, Pa., in memory of his ancestor, Nathaniel Fitz Randolph, who, in 1756, 
donated to the College the tract of ground now comprised in the front campus. The 
architects were McKim, Mead and White, of New York City. There is a central gateway 
directly in front of the steps of Nassau Hall and two smaller ones, one beside the Dean's 
house and the other on the library walk. The gates and the fence are of iron, ten feet in 
height. The pillars are of granite and limestone, surmounted with carved designs, 
the tops of the two main pillars at the head of Witherspoon Street being stone eagles. 
In Old North several changes have been made. The tops of the towers at each 
end have disappeared. Inside, the large museum room in the south wing has been 
remodeled in carved oak, and will be used as a council chamber for faculty meetings. 
Such are the actual changes on the campus. Others are soon to follow, some of 
which are still mere rumors, some authoritative announcements. The latest in the

latter class is a building to be known as the John R. Thompson Graduate College, made 
possible by the benefaction of the late Mrs. J. Thompson Swann. Also at the last 
meeting of the Board of Trustees it was announced that Blair Hall would, in the 
coming summer, be extended as far as the observatory, with an archway over the 
campus entrance, surmounted by a low quadrangular tower. To the former class 
belong the extension of Patton Hall around Brokaw field, and a replica of the tower of 
Magdalen between Patton Hall and the extension of the same, a contemplated gift of 
one of the older classes. 

Prospect Avenue is much altered. Gradually all the residences here are being 
turned into clubhouses.* In 1896 there were on the avenue just four of these houses. 
Ivy, Cottage, Cap and Gown, and Tiger Inn. Of these only Tiger Inn is occupying the 
same building it had ten years ago, though this building has been somewhat enlarged. 
The old Cap and Gown house, moved to a side street opposite the athletic field, has served 
as a starter for several clubs, and is now known as the "Incubator." It is at present 
occupied by the latest of the clubs, the Terrace, which club, however, has just completed 
the purchase of the residence of Professor Hibben on Washington Road. The present 
Cap and Gown building was completed in 1897. The old Cottage Club House was moved 
further down and is now the last house on the avenue, being the home of the Tower Club,

which was organized in 1902. On its former site stands the handsome new house of the 
Cottage Club, just lately opened for use. The plans are the work of McKim, Mead and 
White. The former home of the Ivy Club has been remodeled in colonial style and is, 
since 1897, the home of the Colonial Club. Across the street stands the new Ivy Club 
House,* built in 1897, of brick, in Elizabethan architecture, from designs by Cope and 
Stewardson. The former home of Professor West is now the clubhouse of the Campus

sleeve, and behind it, on the street in front of the University field. Terrace. 

While on the subject of clubs, I ought to mention the Faculty Clubs, for these 
constitute an interesting development since our graduation. At the foot of University 
Place, in the house formerly known as the Monastery, are the headquarters of the Bachel- 
ors. This club arose out of the necessity of finding a place where the younger members 
of the faculty could get their meals and live together. It was organized in the spring 
of 1901 and started as a club that fall in the house beside the Methodist Church, now 
the home of Dr. "Jack" Carnochan. In 1903 the Bachelors moved into their present 
quarters. The club, consisting now of a membership of thirty-nine Preceptors and 
Instructors, has a comfortable house, well-kept grounds, tennis courts, and a baseball 
field. The older organization for towns-people and members of the University is the 
Nassau Club, which three years ago moved from its former quarters in University 
Hall to the house on Mercer Street next to Priest's drug store. Here are reading 
rooms, dining rooms with a grill, card rooms and several sleeping rooms for transient 
guests. The constitution of the club has been modified so as to make eligible for mem- 
bership any alumnus of the University of more than three years' standing. Large 
numbers of the younger alumni of New York, Philadelphia, and elsewhere have availed 
themselves of this privilege and the membership of the club now numbers about one 
hundred and twenty-five resident and two hundred and fifty non-resident members. 
The Nassau Club can be used as a hotel for the accommodation of alumni who wish to 
spend a few days in town, and is gradually coming to fulfill the functions of a University 
or Graduate Club. 

On the University athletic field things are pretty nearly the same as we used to 
know them. The permanent stands on the west side of the field are new. During the

present College year the Field House was burned. This is being rebuilt on the same founda- 
tion, but the new building will consist of three stories. In speaking of improvements 
in an athletic way, however, the most prominence is rightfully deserved by the new 
Golf Club House, built in 1901, and presented to the University by the Class of 1886. 
It is on a knoll on the Springdale Farm, south of the Theological Seminary, contains baths, 
dressing rooms, and several large rooms used for the general purposes of a country club. 
This house will be the headquarters of the donating class when they return for reunions. 

Opposite the campus several new buildings strike the eye. On the lower corner 
of Witherspoon Street stands Lower Pyne, a dormitory built and presented to the 
University by Mr. M. Taylor Pyne. Upper Pyne, a few doors above, is privately owned. 
These were in course of erection when we graduated. They are from plans prepared 
by Mr. R. C. Gildersleeve, and are built in the half-timbered style of the old houses in 
Chester, England. The upper stories overhang the street. The roofs are of red slate. 
On the upper corner of Witherspoon Street stands the first and only skyscraper in Prince- 
ton, the home of the First National Bank. Opposite University Hall is the new 
building of the Princeton Bank, with offices of the bank on the first floor and private 
apartments on the second and third. On University Place, near the railroad station, 
is a new private building for the accommodation of students, known as the Hill Dor- 
mitory. On a walk out Mercer Street one notices many new residences. Lovers' Lane 
leads to a view of the large estates of Mr. Pyne, Mr. Russell and Mr. Morgan ; on turning 
into Library Place from Stockton Street we see the handsome new residences on this 
street and neighboring ones, most of which have been built only lately. 

It is probably in the town that returning alumni notice the most changes. When 
we graduated, Princeton was a country village, and withal, a very pleasant one, without 
trolleys or Sunday trains. It is now a place of suburban residence, two trolleys connect 
it with Trenton, we have a train for commuters who live in Princeton and do business 
in New York, and fine residences and villas in the western part of the town occupy the 
grounds which were cornfields when we came to College. Carnegie Lake on the east 
and south will extend this development in that direction also. To the old "Grad." a 
walk around the outskirts would be most profitable and entertaining. Let him not, 
however, become despondent. In spite of the great development of the town, the Uni- 
versity is still the center of it and still the biggest and grandest thing about it ; for the 
town has grown and developed only because of the life and energy which have emanated 
from a real, live and growing institution. May the time never come when Princeton 
will not mean first and primarily the University of Witherspoon and McCosh !

THE NEW CURRICULUM 

Inspiration will come too late, should it come at all, to the man selected to write 
a brief sketch of the changes which ten years have made in the curriculum of Princeton. 
To any one who has taken even a casual peep at the document in our recent catalogue, 
called "The Undergraduate Course of Study," it will not seem remarkable that the 
inspiration is a little belated. It is calculated to inspire only those who in the old days 
loved the poetic pages of the "number-system," or halted irresolute between two en- 
ticing programs, whether to elect calculus or physics. The rest of us are rather inclined 
to glance at its orderly lines of "Advised," "Prerequisite," "Requisite Cognate," and 
"Required," and turn away, thankful that we lived before the days of the "Revival of 
Learning," the new curriculum and the Preceptorial System. Our first feeling is likely 
to be that the old system of "laissez faire" was good enough for us 

And yet a few moments' serious comparison of our own undergraduate course 
with that of the present day will convince the most conservative of us that ten years have 
done quite as much for the Princeton student as for the Princeton campus. With the 
changes in his social life and his physical surroundings, I am not asked to deal. Of his 
relations with his Preceptor, the most important of all the additions to our university 
world, an account is elsewhere furnished by one who speaks with the knowledge which 
only preceptors can possess. All these things should be considered in any fair-minded 
comparison of the Princeton of 1896 with the Princeton of 1906. But back of all, and 
perhaps more fundamental than any, lies the complete revision of the course of study. 
In our day the idea of the free elective was at its zenith. Shortly after our day it began 
its decline. Not only at Princeton but throughout the American university world, the 
feeling began to gain ground that the free elective system had not been justified by its 
results. Princeton had never adopted that system in its entirety; but it was generally 
felt even here that the element of co-ordination had been sacrificed through concessions 
to the prevailing tendency. "We have dropped the threads of system in our teaching," 
President Wilson declared in his Inaugural Address, speaking of the general field of 
modern education. " . . . We have so spread and diversified the scheme of knowl- 
edge in our day that it has lost coherence." And then he proceeded to point out the 
specific method of correction. "No doubt," he said, "we must make choice" among 
the host of studies, "and suffer the pupil himself to make choice. But the choice that 
we make must be the chief choice, the choice the pupil makes the subordinate choice 
he must choose only which one of several tours that we may map out he will 
take. . . . We must supply the synthesis and must see to it that, whatever group of 
studies the student selects, it shall at least represent the round whole, contain all the 
elements of modern knowledge, and be itself a complete circle of general subjects." 

In that address we find the clear promise of just what has been brought about 
by the revision of the course of study. One of the first important acts of the new ad- 
ministration was the appointment of a committee to completely revise the course of 
study. After sittings extending over several months, the report of the committee was 
presented to the Faculty (on April 26th, 1904), where, section by section, it was debated, 
slightly amended and passed. This report had as its primary object "to present for the 
use of the student an organic body of studies, conceived according to a definite and con- 
sistent system and directed towards a single comprehensive aim, namely, the discipline 
and development of the mind." To accomplish this, in view of the varied preparation 
of the entering students, it was considered necessary to make the Freshman year a year 
of wholly prescribed studies, devoted to subjects elementary and fundamental to any 

118 



system of higher education, no matter what lines it should follow later. The subjects 
selected as best calculated to constitute such a general foundation were English, Latin, 
Greek, French, German, Mathematics, and, for those entering without Greek, Elementary 
Physics. Thus Freshman year has undergone comparatively little change since our 
own day. The addition, however, of a new degree, gives a somewhat different aspect 
even to Freshman year, although causing no real alteration in the curriculum of that year. 

The old cry "of Greek only through translations" had become so strong, and the 
reaction against the study of the Greek language had gone so far in other institutions, 
that, in order to maintain it as one of the fundamentals of the old arts degree, it seemed 
wise to the rulers of this world, to create a new degree, unknown "even to the omniscient 
ancients." Accordingly it was ordained that the degree of Bachelor of Letters (Lift. B.) 
should be instituted for "those who enter with the equivalents for Greek and subse- 
quently concentrate in one of the Departments in philosophical, political, literary, or 
other humanistic studies — and that hereafter the degree of Bachelor of Science be open 
to those who enter with the equivalents for Greek and subsequently concentrate in one 
of the mathematical or scientific Departments." These candidates for the new degree 
(Litt. B.) follow precisely the same course of study as the candidates for the B.S. degree, 
until the close of Sophomore year. It is only at the beginning of Junior year, when 
they choose a department, that they separate, the Litt. B. men turning to literature, 
art, philosophy, or history, while the B.S. men congregate into the scientific Departments. 
Under the old system there was always a considerable body of men who, in order to 
enter without Greek, were matriculated in the School of Science as candidates for our 
B.S. degree, with no idea of studying science, but looking toward a course, at least in 
Junior and Senior years, differing in no respect from that pursued by candidates for the 
A.B. degree. The Litt. B. course thus furnishes an honorable escape from the ancient 
three-fold alternative of "Feeling the Greek," entering the School of Science or becoming 
a Special. The Freshman studies of the men entering with Greek and, therefore, can- 
didates for the old arts degree, differs from that of the Litt. B. and B.S. men only in this 
respect — in having four hours devoted to Greek and only two hours to a modern lan- 
guage, while the latter class divide those six hours equally between French and German, 
or between Physics and either modern language, according as Physics has or has not been 
offered for entrance. 

As we approach Sophomore year, however, the atmosphere is quite new to us. 
Our old Exhibit of Studies consisted of the simplest possible statement of an extremely 
simple system:

Can anyone wonder that hazing stops soon after the work of the year begins? 

All that this means, however, is that a man must so choose his courses in Sopho- 
more year as to prepare himself for entering the Department of his choice at the begin- 
ning of Junior year. For example, if a man wishes to take the Department of History, 
Politics and Economics in his Junior year, he must have the prerequisite course in General 
History which is offered in Sophomore year. If he has not taken it, he will have to go 
back and get it as an extra course. Similarly, if he wishes to concentrate in any one of 
the eleven Departments which I shall describe presently, he must select, as his Sophomore 
elective, the course which the Faculty (not the student) deems essential to the work of 
that Department. This does not mean, however, that a man's choice of a Department 
is irrevocably made by the end of the Sophomore year. By that time he is necessarily 
qualified for any one of several Departments, and, of course, he may elect to concentrate 
in any one of these Departments at the opening of his Junior year. Should he select as 
his Sophomore electives Datin, History and German, for example, he will be qualified, 
at the opening of the Junior year, to take any one of the Departments, (1) History, 
Politics and Economics, (2) Art and Archaeology, and (3) English (if he be a candidate 
for the Litt. B. degree), and (4) Germanics. There must also be several Departments 
for which he is not qualified. If he wishes to enter one of them, he must make up the 
prerequisite course which he did not take in Sophomore year, and which is regarded as 
fundamental to the work of that Department. Sophomore year is therefore planned so as 
to enable the student to prepare a broad basis for the more specialized work of Junior 
year, eliminating certain lines of study indeed, but qualifying for a sufficient number 
to make the choice of a Department a real choice. All undergraduate courses after Fresh- 
man year are on a three-hour basis. 

The scheme of study for Junior year represents a kind of character determinism. 
A man is free to choose, but he can choose only upon the basis of what he has done in the 
past. Or, to use a more homely simile, he cannot take the fish course until he has had 
the soup. He may take any Department for which his Sophomore courses have qualified 
him, but having once selected the Department, his activities are largely foreordained. 
He must take all the courses which that Department offers to Juniors, and all the Junior 
courses cognate to that Department. The courses of Junior and Senior years are arranged 
in four Divisions of two or more Departments each.* "The Division of Matheinatics and 
Science," for example, contains five Departments, viz.: Mathematics, Physics, Chem- 
istry, Geology, and Biology. Three of the Junior's courses must lie in the Division 
in which his Department lies. Of his other two courses one must lie outside that Divi- 
sion, while the other, out of deference to the principle of free agency, may be outside or 



* A - Divisipn of Philosophy; £ - Division of Art and Archaeology: C - Division of Language and Literature; D - Divi- 
sion of Mathematics and Science. 

121 



inside, as he himself may determine.* In this provision, allowing for two practically 
free electives, lies the final element of elasticity in the system. It provides the last 
m^ans by which a man may change from one Department to another without loss. At 
the opening of Senior year he may remain in the Department which he selected at the 
beginning of Junior year, or he may change to that for which he has qualified by the use 
of his two free electives. 

But the man who has passed his Junior year without making this provision 
against the future, enters Senior year irremediably attached to the Department of his 
Junior year. He must take three courses in that Department, or, in case three Senior 
courses are not offered by that Department, he must select three which fall within the 
Division in which that Department lies. Thus the new curriculum gives order and 
co-ordination to the work of every student, and elasticity for those who have the intelli- 
gence to see it. It makes impossible the enormous classes which were so common in 
our undergraduate days, by keeping the classes separate and distinct. And, by a pro- 
vision that one at least of three scheduled hours of each week shall be devoted, not to 
lectures, but to some form of quiz, recitation or conference upon assigned work or reading, 
it signalizes Princeton's revolt from the too generally accepted view that you can educate 
a man by talking to him. 



CHANGES IN THE FACULTY 



The University Faculty, during the past ten years, has undergone changes quite 
as remarkable as those which have been noticed in connection with the undergraduate 
course of study. 

Our old catalogue (1896-7) shows a total of 82 members of the teaching force, 
consisting of 37 Professors, 11 Assistant Professors, 22 Instructors, 7 Assistants, 2 
Lecturers, 1 Demonstrator, 1 Librarian, 1 Reference Librarian. 

The recent catalogue (1905-6) presents a list of "Faculty and Instructors," con- 
sisting of 154 members, of whom 53 are Professors, 10 Assistant Professors, 47 Preceptors 
with the rank of Assistant Professors, 32 Instructors, 5 Assistants, 4 Lecturers, 2 Libra- 
rians with the rank of Professors, 1 Associate Librarian. 

The personnel of the Faculty has also undergone far greater change than these 
figures alone would indicate. 

Of the 37 full Professors of our undergraduate days, only 21 remain in active 
service. Ex-President Patton still retains the Chair of Ethics and Philosophy of Religion, 
which he held as President. Professor Woodrow Wilson has exchanged his original 
title of "Professor of Jurisprudence" for that of President, and "McCormick Professor of 
Jurisprudence and Politics." Professor Brackett retains his position as Henry Professor 
of Physics, in spite of his repeated resignations, which the Board of Trustees have per- 
sistently declined to accept. Professors Cornwall, Macloskie, McMillan, Hunt, Winans, 
Libbey, Scott, Marquand, West, Fine, Westcott, Magie, McCay, Thompson, Harper and 
Daniels continue at the work of active instruction, although not all of them in precisely 

* As there are, in almost every instance, but two Junior Courses given in any Department, the Junior is generally left free 
to select two of the five courses in another Department. 

122 



the same positions. Professor West has added to the dignified title of "Giger Professor 
of Latin," under which we knew him, the still more dignified designation of "Dean of the 
Graduate School," and upon dress parade covers his portly person with a robe of scarlet, 
indicative of the fact that he has been received into the brotherhood of European letters, 
and sealed with the seal of the University of Oxford. Professor Fine, now "Dod Pro- 
fessor of Mathematics," has succeeded to the office and dignity of "Dean of the Faculty," 
and enjoys the respect and affection which we as undergraduates paid to the late lamented 
and beloved James Ormsbee Murray. Professor Magie has succeeded Professor Henry 
Clay Cameron as "Clerk of the Faculty"; and Professor Harper has exchanged his old 
old title of "Woodhull Professor of Romance Languages" for the more attractive one of 
"Holmes Professor of Belles Lettres and English Language and Literature," formerly 
held by our own beloved Dean. Professor Ormond, formerly "Stuart Professor of 
Mental Science and Logic," now appears as "McCosh Professor of Philosophy." 

Aside from these changes the positions of the Professors who have survived, in 
full activity, the departure of the "Glorious Class," is unaltered. Of the remaining fifteen 
Professors whom we knew as undergraduates, three have altered their allegiance and 
accepted positions of honor and emolument in other institutions of learning. Professor 
Sloane is now Professor of History in Columbia; Professor Baldwin in the Johns Hopkins, 
and Professor Perry, who left us to become editor of the Atlantic Monthly, has recently 
accepted a call to Harvard, where he is to occupy the chair once held by Longfellow 
and Lowell. Six have retired from active service. Professor H. C. Cameron, now 
Emeritus; Professor W. A. Packard, now Emeritus; Professor C. A. Young, now Emeri- 
tus; Professor C. G. Rockwood, now Emeritus, and Professor H. C. O. Huss, who has re- 
turned to the Old Country, and Professor G. L. Raymond ; and the rest have passed to 
their eternal reward; James Ormsbee Murray, John Thomas Duffield, J. Stillwell 
Schanck, Charles Woodruff Shields, S. Stanhope Orris, William Cowper Prime 

Of the eleven Assistant Professors of our day, nine now appear among the list, of 
Full Professors in the departments in which they were then employing their energies : 
H. S. S. Smith, J. G. Hibben, W. B. Harris, E. S. Lewis, G. S. Patton, W. M. Rankin, 
C. F. W. McClure, H. C. Warren, T. M. Parrott ; one, Taylor Reed, has changed his 
vocation in life; and one, Willard Humphreys, succeeded to the Chair of Germanics, 
which he filled with great success until his death in 1902. 

Of the 31 Instructors, Lecturers and Assistants named in our old catalogue, nine 
now occupy positions as Full Professors: A. H. Phillips, Fred. Neher, J. H. Coney, E. 
H. Loomis, E. Y. Robbins, W. K. Prentice, W. U. Vreeland, H. C. Butler, and V. L. 
Collins (Reference Librarian, who is soon to assume the duties of Preceptor in Modern 
Languages); four as Assistant Professors: H. F. Covington, Walter A. Wyckoff, J. P. 
Hoskins and Ulric Dahlgren; and one, G. M. Priest, as Preceptor in Princeton. 

The development of the Faculty has, however, by no means been confined to the 
regular and orderly development of material already on hand when we delivered over 
the affairs of the University to our less competent and far less experienced successors. 
Notable additions have been made from without, men whose names are familiar within 
the guilds of learning throughout the two continents : Paul Van Dyke, Professor of His- 
tory; Henry Van Dyke, Murray Professor of English Literature; Edgar Odell Lovett, 
Professor of Astronomy, whose reputation was made in the field of pure mathematics, 
but whose general attainments as a scientist have secured him the honor of an election 
to the chair so long occupied by Professor Charles Augustus Young; James Hopwood 
Jeans, Professor of Applied Mathematics, who has recently come to us from the University 
of Cambridge, England, with a reputation which has lately been recognized by the 
distinguished honor of an election to membership in Royal Society ; Harry Augustus 
Garfield, Professor of Politics, who sacrificed a highly lucrative and a most influential 

123 



position at the bar in order to devote himself as a teacher to the same high poHtical ideals 
which give such undying glory to the memory of his father, "our martyred President" ; 
Frank Thilly, Stuart Professor of Psychology, whose work both as a writer and as a teach- 
er have secured him a high rank among the psychologists of the country; Stockton 
Axson, Professor of English, whose lectures have won for him much the same position 
in the minds of the undergraduates of the present generation as that held by Bliss Perry 
"in the old days"; Charles Henry Smyth, Professor of Geology, formerly connected 
with the geological survey work both of the Federal Government and of New York 
State, who ranks as an authority upon physical and petrographical Geology; Enno 
Littmann, Librarian of the Oriental Department and Lecturer in Semitic Philology, 
whose distinguished services in the field of Oriental research have recently secured him 
an election to the chair of Oriental Philology in the University of Strasburg. The 
Trustees of Princeton have also honored him with a call to the chair of Oriental Languages 
in this university, but his decision has not been received at the present writing. 

One page of our present catalogue is a source of pride and gratification to every 
Princeton man. I transcribe it without comment : 

"The Stafford Little Lectureship on Public Affairs, founded by the Honorable 
Stafford Little, of the Class of 1844. 

"Lecturer: The Honorable Grover Cleveland, LL.D., Ex-President of the United 
States."

THE PRECEPTORIAL SYSTEM 

This account of the preceptorial system will best satisfy its end by not beginning 
with any definition. We all know what that system is and why it was adopted at the 
University. At least, we have heard a good deal already upon the subject in general, 
ranging all the way from fairy tale to the straight truth. The reason, no doubt, for the 
many rumors that come to our ears about the system lies in the fact that a dozen or more 
different departments of the University, from philosophy to French, from politics (in 
theory, of course) to mathematics or Old-English, are all adapting one system of instruc- 
tion to all these diverse subjects. Add to this fact another consideration: there are four 
classes, each differing from the next by a whole year's experience in learning and maturity. 
So that, while the preceptorial system, abstractly taken, is a unified and homogeneous 
plan for all departments and for all four classes of the undergraduates, the application 
of the method in practice to individual students is a rather complex affair. The question 
is, not "What is the system?" but "How does it work or operate or adapt itself to the 
purpose for which it was inaugurated?" 

That is a question hard to answer. The general plan of this method is to afford 
each undergraduate individually one hour a week, at least, personal instruction at the 
hands, or feet, as they used to put it in the old days, of a man and a scholar. The aim 
to secure for the individual student a pointed response to his particular needs is so great 
a factor in the preceptorial system that some undergraduate wag has styled it the "lung- 
to-lung" method of teaching. In other words, whereas in past years the students were 
made to rotate about that central point of the University, the professor, it is the pro- 
fessor who has to do all the moving about a fixed point called the undergraduate, as far 
as the preceptorial system is concerned. The University is at last for the student in 
the every-day practical meaning of the phrase. 

We will suppose a student taking a course in United States History. The course 
is three hours a week. This student attends a class in which a professor gives a lecture 
on this particular branch of history to one hundred or so of his fellow classmen. The 
next day another lecture to this same group. On the third day the student goes to 
the preceptor appointed for him, and not to the professor, where, instead of a lecture, 
he attends a meeting of a group of six men to discuss the subject of United States History 
intimately with the preceptor for an hour in the teacher's private rooms. The basis of 
their mutual discussion is a number of chapters from some standard work on the history 
of the United States which the student has to prepare carefully before he meets the 
preceptor. The discussion of the particular topic of the day begins ; there are six men 
seated about the room and, as it happens, three of these students are from the North 
and three from the South ; the period they are busy over in this preceptorial hour is about 
1854; the discussion develops, supported by the arguments in the text, but more especially 
by the arguments pro and con which precipitated the Civil War. The preceptor serves 
here as judicial umpire and an hour goes by in which those six men thresh out the subject 
from their respective points of view. And so a term's work from week to week is accom- 
plished ; if the student gives evidence of a grasp of the subject of United States History 
in his preceptorial conferences, his preceptor recommends him to the professor, who 
delivers the lectures in class, and he is permitted to take the regular mid-year examinaton. 
If the preceptor finds the student's work with him has been of inferior quality, he is 
debarred outright from taking the examinaton and receives forthwith a condition in 
the class-work as well as the preceptorial work. This furnishes an idea of the value set 

126 



upon the preceptorial hour, and although no cuts are taken to be handed in to the Registrar, 
it is plain to see that a student will not jeopardize his chances by treating the precep- 
torial work and attendance carelessly. 

If one should happen to drop in to a preceptorial hour in Freshman Greek this 
present term he would find a well-trained scholar at work with six young fellows on a 
study of Greek verb and noun forms exclusively. A Freshman is required to take 
fifteen lines of Greek to his preceptor and to tell him every grammatical detail about 
every word, and to ask a multitude of questions about the subject from his teacher, who 
devotes the entire hour on direct information to the student. The Freshman learns 
more Greek in one hour by that system than two or three hours of class-work could 
yield. And the same is true of German or Spanish and the rest. 

It follows that book reading is at present more specific. A Senior pointed out the 
other day a shelf of books which he is reading at first hand and annotating the margins 
moreover. Books in English like Milton's "Paradise Lost" and "Paradise Regained"; 
Walton's "Complete Angler"; Browne's "Religio Medici" and poems from Browning 
are being read under the very eyes of a man who directs a student through the works of 
these representative English authors and sees that they are studied intelligently. This 
direct instruction means an enormous amount of reading as compared with times hitherto ; 
whether the undergraduate can stand the pressure remains for the immediate future 
years to disclose. There is naturally some discontent both with instructors, here and 
there, and with the subjects, but these symptoms of conservatism, to put it mildly, are 
to be read only one way: the student is being broken in to study and to do his book-work 
systematically. As he is not yet accustomed to the new plan, it is to be expected that 
it may rub him the wrong way at first. Naturally, fewer men from year to year will have 
to drop out on account of inefficiency and conditions. By this system a closer oversight 
is maintained upon Freshmen and any dropping that will have to be done may ultimately 
confine itself to men in the first year, except in rare cases of upper class men who may 
turn out to be altogether neglectful of their work.

TEN YEARS AFTER 



I was never up against anything harder in all my life than I am now up against 
this article on the "Changes in Undergraduate Life." It has successfully "gloomed" 
(to use the slang of the present "simple student") my days and nights, and has barely 
missed bringing my few sad last gray hairs in sorrow to the grave. It is not by lack of 
material that I am embarrassed, but by the very abundance of it. It is not a ques- 
tion of inclusion, but of exclusion. The one thing that I find the same, unchanged and 
unchangeable is the Spirit which under ies the whole structure of undergraduate 
convention and which we fondly believe is our legacy from the days of James Madison 
and Philip Freneau. 

In externals, undergraduate life in Princeton has undoubtedly changed during 
the years that have passed since the consulship of Jake Beam and Pin Dennis. Those 
ancient worthies, were they alive to-day, would find this "dam college" a much more 
difficult business to run than it was in the days when a mere editorial, inspired by the 
muse whose seat was in the secret recesses of South Reunion, could set the whole world 
right in a morning issue of the Daily Princetonian. What was so simple and natural 
then has become complex; tendencies have crystallized into set forms; "old customs" 
have passed away and new ones sprung up to take their places; and the phrase "when 
I was in college," from a '96 man, applies, in the mind of the present junior or senior, 
to a time at least mediaeval, if not antediluvan. It was to be expected, of course, that 
changes should take place, for Princeton is by no means stagnant : and the current, even 
though it has swept away much that we loved and called good, has compensated gen- 
erously in other ways. 

Ours was the last class to be graduated from the College of New Jersey, and the 
Freshman Class which entered in the autumn of 1897 began to see by the light of another 
day. When the name of the institution was changed, there were many loyal Princetonians 
who lamented the passing of the old college as a sign of the passing of the old order. 
The change seemed not so much a development as a revolution ; and what then was called 
the "Crime of 'Ninety-Six" — the destruction of East College to make room for the new 
University Library, was taken to be the beginning of a movement which would un- 
doubtedly end in the removal of Nassau Hall, that last haunt of the "shades of mightier 
sons than we." There seemed, besides, to many, a pretentiousness in the name of 
university which put Princeton in an equivocal position among the institutions of learn- 
ing in America. Princeton was not a university, they contended, and was over-reaching 
herself in assuming that title. As a college, she had flourished for one hundred and 
fifty honorable years, and a college she should remain to the end of time. Grave heads 
wagged and wise tongues clacked ; and certain of her enemies voiced only too harshly the 
opinions of many of her faithful sons in predicting the downfall of Alma Mater, the 
falling, as it were, between the two stools of College and University. 

128 



And yet, at that very time, although not, according to some definitions, a uni- 
versity, Princeton was no longer purely a college. Years before she had undertaken, 
half-heartedly, some functions of a university and become foster-mother to a large 
number of Seminoles who called themselves P. G.'s, took Jeremy Ormond's courses in 
Philosophy, and, when they could make it, played on the football team. 

Neither one thing nor the other, then, Princeton seemed to have no definite aim, 
no well-ordered plan of development. What new things came about simply growed, 
like Topsy. And so the "fathers," the clear-sighted men among the Faculty and Trus- 
tees, chose to assume the title of University, giving all Princetonians an ideal to live for, 
to attain. To-day the College of New Jersey has become Princeton University, with 
many things still to strive for, with many old sins still besetting her, but nevertheless a 
university, with one hundred and sixty years of history and tradition, of development 
and growth, behind her, and before her a future as great as the spirit of her sons shall 
make it. 

Of course, there was little difference between the College of June, '96, and the 
University of October, in the same year. The Class of 1900, as freshmen, were almost 
as inadequately professored and instructored as we had been, as freshmen, four years 
before ; the old sweaters and corduroys, carelessness and uncleanliness, had merely been 
handed down with our other privileges and emoluments to younger, less capable men. 
The era of decay in Undergraduate Matters had set in ; and the whole place was spinning 
merrily to the dogs. Even that Glorious Victory — the last of the New York games — 
was not so much a manifestation of continued power as it was a reflection of departed 
glory. 

But down in Princeton the 
change had already begun. The 
President of the United States had 
reviewed the first stupendous "pee- 
rade" of the new University, which 
was the beginning of the march 
forward "all along the line." Soon 
afterward, the University Library 
was opened, marking one epoch 
in progress; and with Blair Hall 
there burst over the undergrad- 
uate world the new dazzling idea 
of personal cleanliness. There, 
I contend, is where the new life 
began for Princeton. Those who 
remember the painful hours spent 
in the old "Gym" on Wednesday 
and Saturday afternoons, waiting 
for long-deferred "turns" at tub 
or shower, can appreciate the fact that there, in those bathrooms in Blair Hall, a new

Princeton Idea had come to light — one which was destined to grow and spread, finally 
to take the University by storm, and become the very flower of Princeton's face.* Little 
Hall followed, with its grace and beauty, and likewise with its baths ; and as no epidemic 
of typhoid fever came to block the wheels of progress, the bold Trustees decreed that 
baths. Early Christians to the contrary notwithstanding, should be fruitful and multiply. 
To-day, the "old grad," coming back to visit the scenes of his happy, unwashed past, is 
startled by the sound of running water in Edwards. . . . There is more joy in 
Princeton over a sinner. . . . And so forth. 

I believe, then, firmly, that cleanliness was the little rift in the old condition of 
things that, slowly widening, made the old music mute. It was not long before it 
became a habit to burn all sweaters more than ten years old; and the corduroys passed 
into the wardrobes of Gentlemen on Witherspoon and Hulfish streets. To be sure, there 
is a tendency just now to revive the corduroy, and the sweater-vest is popular in the 
highest circles; but there is in the present mode none of the universality that marked 
the costume of our regime. In fact, the piece de resistance of the present student's 
trousseau is a garment known as a mackinaw coat, second cousin to a bath-robe and 
related on the distaff side to a smoking-jacket. Like the golf-trousers of '95-'96, it is no 
outward and visible sign of the wearer's taste or prowess. It is merely the thing for 
upper classmen to wear. There are other conventions in clothing which have come up 
in recent years. The present freshman may wear nothing on his head but a cap, a black 
cap, modest like the general bearing of him, and furnished by local haberdashers in 
uniform style at a uniform price. The wearing of the slicker has also acquired an etiquette. 
The freshman wears a black one for his long year of insignificance and burgeons forth 
on the first rainy day of sophomore year in a bright new yellow one, bought with part of 
the sum for which the old black article was sold to an innocent new freshman. 

Such sartorial details, however new and strange they may seem to us, have now 
the weight of old tradition. . . . But they are hardly significant of change or 
progress. The clean collar is another matter. A clean collar, worn in the middle of 
the week, does not necessarily mean that the "folks "are "coming on," or that a Certain 
Girl and her mother are in town for the day. One's friends pass by without noticing it. 
There, indeed, is a sign of the times. Clean collars I associate with club hatbands, for 
the two, I think, came in together. The hatband to-day is ubiquitous. There are 
thirteen clubs, each with its own hatband, necktie, and cigarettes ; and it is the hatband 
that marks the man. And a student, conspicuous by a "leading" hatband, must dress 
accordingly. Whatever may be said against the upper class clubs, it is undoubtedly 
true that they have made a better-dressed man of the undergraduate. I realize that some 
"old grads" object to that very thing in them; but to anyone constantly resident in 
Princeton it is a matter for rejoicing. There is no extravagance in attire, necessarily; 
merely care, taste, and, generally speaking, decency. 

The upper class clubs have been a subject for debate for many a long year. It 
is argued against them that they foster extravagant ways of living, that they miUtate 



* The first bathrooms were not in Blair Hall, as a matter of fact. But they ought to have been, and so I have ventured 
to place them there by poetic license. F- C. M.

against the properly simple life of the "simple student," that they destroy the democratic 
spirit of Princeton. . . . There is, perhaps, some danger in the New Clubhouse idea. 
The tendency is at present for each club as it builds to build more elaborately than its 
neighbor. But the burden of expense comes chiefly upon the younger alumni; and it 
is ungracious to cavil at a spirit which is constantly adding to the architectural beauty 
of Princeton. The Ivy Club is one of the few perfectly satisfactory buildings in the town, 
and is already a source of pride and vainglory to us all.

THE ELM CLUB THE COLONIAL CLUB 

NEW HOUSES OF SIX OF THE CLUBS OF OUR TIME 



It seems to me, too, that the Ufe within the clubs is simple enough. There is no 
excessive splendor in the "appointments" of the clubhouses, unless a liveried kid-mucker 
disguised as a bell-boy be considered excessively splendid. And the social life of the 
undergraduate has been broadened, softened, refined, without losing its essentially frank 
masculine quality, by the clubs. The clubs have made it possible for men to entertain 
their friends fittingly; and dances, and even house parties, almost unheard of ten years 
ago, are now part of the regular program in several of the cluhs. Anything which 
lessens the almost stupendous masculinity of the old Princeton must be welcome to those 
who are interested in the welfare of the student. It is not good for man to dwell ab- 
solutely alone. 

As for the third charge — anent Democracy, Democratic Princeton is a fetich 
before which we have all bowed and do still bow; an Idea lovely to all of us. It is the 
one thing, we believe, that distinguishes us among great universities — something which 
must be preserved at any cost. Very well and good. But the upper class clubs are not 
undemocratic. Cliquey, yes ; but undemocratic, not at all. A man's election to a club 
does not depend upon his pedigree, nor his wealth, nor his achievements, altogether; 
but upon his personality, his companionable qualities, the manifestation, in other words, 
of his birth, breeding, and prowess. The poor man who is a gentleman may make, and 
often does, one of the best clubs ; the scion of an ancient stalk who is a cad or a snob or a 
fool has no more chance of election than an out-and-out mucker ; even a prominent ath- 
lete or a managing editor may not be persona grata to many of his fellows. There may 
be exceptions. On the other hand, of course, many of the best men in college are not 
club men, and a number, every year, stay out of clubs by their own preference. I think, 
then, that most of the charges brought against the clubs are creations of prejudice, or of 
ignorance of the real conditions. 

The clubs are cliques, of course, and sometimes in the most objectionable sense 
of the term. But, after all, there is very little inter-exclusiveness. The hatbands meet 
and mingle freely enough and seem to hold one another in mutual respect. That the 
oldest of them is young, and that the majority of them were founded within one decade, 
prevents airs on account of age. Twenty-five years of a club's existence is hoary an- 
tiquity. And the fact that brothers in college at the same time often belong to different 
clubs is another safeguard against prolonged animosity between any two of them. In 
fact, a club's standing depends very largely upon its personnel for the time being; and as 
the quality of membership varies decidedly from year to year, it is almost impossible for 
any club to retain supremacy for long periods. It is curious to note, however, how club 
characteristics are kept. The intellectual, the athletic, the literary, the convivial, — in 
general the tone of a club is fairly well perpetuated. 

The great evil, to many anxious Princetonians, lies in club politics. Combina- 
tions and permutations, election and reprobation, to the disinterested spectator seem 
matters of grave danger. But club combinations do not last long; and there would be 
politics in class business and athletic managerships if there were no clubs within a thou- 
sand miles. The Inter-Club Treaty is a wonder of these latter days. Perhaps the 
sophomores understand it, and the members of the Boards of Governors of the different

clubs ; but to average humanity it is as esoteric as Theosophy itself. Several interesting 
"old traditions" have come up with the Treaty, however; no underclassman is allowed 
to walk on Prospect Avenue unless showing guests the beauties of the town ; and The 
Princetonian, in its editorial columns, warns the "undergraduate body" that it has long 
been an "unwritten law in Princeton" that there should be nothing approaching in- 
timacy between upper and under classmen. 

The Sophomore Club and the "following" is another intricate piece of machinery. 
Ever since the authorities decreed against the self-perpetuating sophomore clubs, the 
air has been full of devices for getting over the difficulty. The sophomore clubs have 
become almost as numerous as the upper-class clubs, and the names are wonderful to 
hear and impossible to remember. In fact, the student himself ignores the individual 
name of each year: and the clubs are designated as "red hat," or "blue hat," or "green 
hat," according to the color of their head-gear. The "Faust" of our sophomore year 
has become in turn "Mafia," "Fafna," "Athla," and so on, all names of five letters, 
ending in a; but is known popularly as the "Red Hats." Another following, whose 
names, of five letters ending in co, are legion, as "Falco, ' ' "Ralco, ' ' "Xalco, ' 'is called the 
"Blue Hats" ; and so on, to the last newest following, whose origin was in the dim, misty 
past of last September. It is the rivalry of the freshman clubs to get a "good following" 
that creates the evil. For certain sophomore ' ' folio wings " make certain big clubs on the 
Avenue, and the die is virtually cast in the middle of freshman year. Undoubtedly, there 
is evil in that method of procedure, and already wise heads among the "students" are 
planning reforms which will doubtless result in more "old traditions" and "unwritten 
laws." And yet they call college life free and unconventional! Whereas, the whole 
University eats, sleeps, studies, plays, makes merry, breaks the laws and the command- 
ments, all by convention. We live under the Tyranny of Ideas. 

Athletics hold first place still in the student's heart. Football, be it never so 
much berated and abolished elsewhere, is still the Great Interest. It is a very poor- 
spirited man who doesn't "take in " the practice with fair regularity, and the lesser games 
of the year are attended as they never were twelve or fifteen years ago. And that in 
spite of the fact that the price of admission has been steadily raised until it's a poor game 
indeed that isn't worth a dollar. We are too apt to think that the athletic prowess of 
Princeton is "not what it used to be"; but anyone following the games closely must 
admit that foot ball victories are quite as common now as in the early nineties, and that 
baseball championships have recently come to Princeton in an unprecedented "run." 
The cane-spree is held on Brokaw Field. The time is set by the calendar for a 
certain night in November. The undergraduates line the terraces on the northern and 
western sides of the field, each class in its proper station. And the rules of the game 
are good. This is a much better arrangement than that attempted at one time during 
our college career of listing the cane-spree as an event in some track meet or other on the 
'Varsity Field. . . . Polo came to an unfortunate end, but polo was hardly an 
undergraduate game. "Soccer" football was banned by the faculty early in the year. 
Some enthusiastic dreamers have visions of a crew on Carnegie Lake. And the 
athlete is still the hero. 

135 



Perhaps next best to being an athlete is "making" the Triangle Club. That 
organization has gone on steadily improving, until to-day it is hardly Princeton conceit 
that makes us call it the best college dramatic club in the country. At the first perform- 
ance of "Tabasco-Land," given early in April for the faculty and their friends, there 
was no doubt of the generous applause of the new men (preceptors and such) from all 
corners of These States. I have heard a Harvard man pronounce it better than "Hasty 
Pudding." Nothing further need be said. . . . Naturally, then, the ambitious 
student tries for it, and the man is happy who so much as sings in the chorus. Their 
"plays" are excellent things excellently done; and the "King of Pomeru," the "Mullah 
of Miasmia," the "Woodland Marriage," the "Pretenders," and "Tabasco Land" have 
made immortals, even as the football team. And there are "stories told." There was a 
famous danseuse who sat up all the night before an initial performance in order to remove 
a condition before the appointed hour. That is pathetic. There was a famous Diva 
who missed a last rehearsal through too much liquid support. That is shocking. And 
the name of the "King of Pomeru" has a curious history. It was, in the book, "Pom- 
mern,"the name of a Prussian province. The music-maker read it "Pomeru," and made 
his music accordingly. And it was given as "Pomeru," without much damage to its 
popularity. The Triangle Club came opportunely to take the place of the moribund Glee 
Club. Those of us who have seen a Triangle Club "show" in Chicago, or in some other 
place in the "Provinces" can realize what a delightful change it is. But although 
"gloomed" somewhat at present, the Glee Club still exists, nay flourishes, and its trips, 
though less heralded, are barely less successful than in the palmy days of glee-clubbery. 

The less spectacular work 
of the Halls has been ground be- 
tween the upper and nether mill- 
stones of Upper Class Clubdom 
and "student activities" until there 
is very little spirit left in it. But 
the interest in Intercollegiate de- 
bating, and the newly-established 
Freshman debate with Yale (we 
won last week), have kept alive 
some of the old Hall Idea, and a 
reaction is inevitable. A move- 
ment is now on foot to attach to 
each Hall an instructor, who, under 
the auspices of the Departments of 
English and Jurisprudence and Poli- 
tics, shall have general supervision 
of the work in Oratory and Debate. 

IN FRONT OF THE HALLS Just hoW SUCCCSsful the mOVC will bc 

remains to be seen ; but it will un- 
doubtedly do something toward restoring the departed glory of Whig and Clio Halls.

I wish Jake Beam would give us his views on College "Journalism" of to-day; 
for Jake was It when we all lived in Arcadia, and even now he reads the Daily Princetonian 
every morning, advertisements and all. That "esteemed contemporary" is more than 
ever the official organ of the University, and in these piping times of chapel-twice-a-week, 
it is an almost necessary fireside, or rather breakfast-table, companion. ... As I 
remember it, in '96, before Gordon Johnston had gone into war as a business, it was not 
beneath the dignity of a real editor to "cover" the "stories." The present editors take 
turns in issuing a number, and write the editorials, but the front page is almost entirely 
the work of under classman candidates. Consequently, I think, there are occasional 
lapses which are apt to startle the dull prosaic preceptorial mind. But when inclined 
to judge such lapses too harshly, I remind myself of Jake's item that the most finished 
"number" by the Mandolin Club was "Rubenstein's Medley in F," and vail my proud 
and haughty spirit. The Princetonian Dinner, by the way, has become a national, if 
not an international event, and former Presidents of the United States, famous poets, 
novelists, journalists, diplomats, orators, gather around the board and vie with under- 
graduates from Yale, Harvard and Cornell in wit and eloquence. There were over one 
hundred of such gentlemen at this year's banquet ; and gods and demi-gods were benec- 
tared and ambrosiaed to the "Prince's" taste and at the "Prince's" expense. 

Members of the faculty now review the "Lit" for the Princetonian' s columns. 
From those columns I gather that the "Lit" has lost none of its pristine beauty, and 
gained no more than the pristine number of subscribers. There is a thankless task. 
Other heroes win out in the end heroically, wear the bays, receive the plaudits of the 
multitude. But the "Lit" hero (unless he be also a Princetonian editorial writer or a 
Tiger cartoonist) toils day and night writing sonnets and editorials, stories and essays, 
gossip and the rest, but wins no reward except that of being gloriously "stuck" in the 
end. No ambitious freshman clamors to fill his columns ; he cannot afford to banquet 
the Great of the land; and no Realm of Gold is his in the end — "not even a second-class 
kingdom." 

The "Lit" editor feels proud, almost, at being roasted in the Tiger. The latter 
is a most enterprising journal and succeeds in being really humorous. At present the 
Tiger is roaring over the preceptors, and it's a poor page of it that doesn't take a fall out 
of the System individually or collectively. Jovial, good-natured, clean, it has won an 
enviable place in the esteem of the University at large. The "middle-page" cartoonist 
is only a "little lower than the angels" of the Football Team and the Triangle Club. 

The "Monday Night Club" and the "Fortnightly" have had interesting careers. 
The former is now an august body that meets in the evening and in dress clothes to listen 
attentively to what is known as an Address or Paper. And, I understand, it is "repre- 
sentative"; by which is meant, I think, that "activities" and "clubs" are represented 
in its membership. The Fortnightly, originally a Junior-Sophomore club of literary 
tone, has become entirely sophomoric in its make-up, has fallen into the hands of one 
sophomore club, and is managed from afar by a certain upper class club not especially 
literary! Sic transit Gloria Clubborum. 

The "Monday Night" club, I am told, has been somewhat "gloomed" by the new 

137 



Senior Society, an organization of Prominent Students who act as "undergraduate ad- 
visors" to the President. There the membership is representative. Athletics, the Halls, 
Murray Hall, the Upper ClassClubs, the Triangle Club, the Musical Clubs, the Pollers, 
and even (it is darkly hinted) Those Convivially Inclined — each and all have their spokes- 
man. The Society was an undergraduate idea and has already done good work for the 
University. 

Murray Hall is flourishing as never before ; but club politics have entered in even 
there, and I once overhead one student complaining to another that it was a shame the 
way Cottage was getting all the Murray Hall offices ! . . . varium et mutabile. . . 
But under whatever officers, the Philadelphian Society is a live organization, trusting 
not alone to faith and prayer for salvation, but making good works the keynote 
of its creed. Locally, it is interested in the Boys' Club, which is forwarding the cause of 
civilization on Witherspoon street; and in China the Princeton men support the "Prince- 
ton Work in Peking," an organization, under the supervision of Bob Gayley, for the edu- 
cation of young men. . . . The Saint Paul's Society, too, is a great factor in the 
religious life of the University. The two societies work together in many lines, and a 
large part of their inspiration comes through the present curate of Trinity Church. 
The Princetonian to-day is by no means necessarily Presbyterian, for all churches are 
well represented among the undergraduates; but the Princetonian is still Christian in 
the best meaning of the name. 

The Honor System in Examinations — but there never was any question about 
that. Our new men on the faculty are unanimous in praising it and speak of the Prince- 
ton Undergraduate as unusually frank and above-board, honest in all his ways. 
It is a great tribute to Princeton and the Princeton Spirit which established the system 
and has kept it unblemished for over a decade. 

There was something in our day which moved us mightily on all occasions — 
sometimes a pose, sometimes a passion, an uplift, a hunch, called Class Spirit. It was 
all our woe in freshman year, almost our downfall in sophomore year. It made the solid 
class that made the solid college. We felt it rise within us with the first "hit it up!" 
that fell from sophomore lips; and every smile we put in our pockets put a little more 
of the "spirit" in our souls. Since then, hazing, the hard, untender nurse of it, has been 
abolished seven and seventy times ; but, like Truth crushed to earth, has in every event 
risen again. So that in spite of everything — mass-meetings for the abolition of hazing, 
indefinite suspensions, club politics — what was so firmly established in the first two or 
three months of college life has endured through each college generation, and the solid 
class and the solid college of yesterday is the same to-day and forever. 

The rue is worn with a difference. The inter-class football games, never popular, 
have been dropped from the calendar. The one great inter-class athletic event of the 
year is the Freshman-Sophomore baseball game. But whereas the game used to be 
merely an interchange of hostilities between the two under classes, with eighteen men 
throwing balls and running bases, in the middle distance, it is now a public exhibition, 
on the part of the seniors, of splendid Homeric humor, with underclassmen, game and 
all, shoved out into almost any distances whatever. We had a senior "pee-rade," of 

138 



course— an impromptu affair, negligee and dishabille, under the leadership (I think I 
remember) of John Douglas Kilpatrick. But there is nothing impromptu about the pres- 
ent business. It is carefully planned, prepared, and takes away one's breath with its 
elaboration of detail. Last October, Adam and Eve, in barrels "built by Flynn" (the 
popular Nassau Street tailor), moved gracefully about the thronged Eden of the out- 
field; ladies of the ballet and famous historical personages exchanged courtesies with 
startling lack of convention; but most popular of all was the Preceptor with his "simple 
studes," each with book and slate in hand, chained securely to him. The student was 
beginning to find out what the "system" was like. He was traveling every day from 
a Greek preceptor on Wiggins Street to an English preceptor Lord-knows-where, and then 
back again to a lecture in Dickinson Hall or the School of Science, all in three consecutive 
hours. And here was his protest. There were signs and transparencies: "Take the 
Trolley to 2000 Alexander Street"; "Bring your own lunch and makings"; and, best 
of all, "Do not tip the preceptor." It is no wonder that, with all this mass of color and 
movement continually before him, the spectator takes but little interest in the game 
itself ; and when the masquers finally sweep the field, carrying off game and players, it 
seems like a "feature" of the "pee-rade" and not an outrageous ending to the game. 

When the Class of '96 met in Examination Hall to elect, with other officers, the 
best Secretary class ever had, it was more or less of an occasion. Joy was unconfined. 
The lid was off. The "bald heads of Europe " looked down upon us with envy from their 
niches in the wall. It was such royal sport, though a bit rough on the furniture ! The 
conviviality of class elections increased steadily with the passing of years until, in the 
very last of the '90's, I think, the voice of Reform was heard. Now it is a pious observance, 
done decently with no disorder; and this is the manner of it. Nominations endorsed 
by ten members of the class are handed in to a committee some little time before the day 
set for election. Two days before the election, the list of nominees is published in the 
Daily Princetonian. Finally, on election day, each little man trots up to the Prince- 
tonian office and leaves his vote ; and the result appears next morning in the Prince. 
No meeting ; no festivity ; no destruction of property. Merely "bicker-sessions," politics, 
electioneering, club squabbles, and cold-blooded ballots in the unblushing light of day. 

The seniors still sing, in the dusk of spring days, on the steps of Nassau Hall. 
The ivy-covered walls behind them, the broad elm-studded campus, the underclassmen 
taking his ease on the grass — all the setting is the same. The mellow ring of the bell 
speaks enchantment still. And it seems ungrateful that, here, too, I must note the 
touch of change, and note it regretfully. When '93 sang on the steps, in those glorious 
days of Tarkington and Danny Deever, when life was all straight romance, I remember 
the audience as purely collegiate, almost entirely undergraduate, with only the ubiqui- 
tous kid-mucker to mar the happy-family air of the whole gathering. And there was 
a spontaneity in the singing, with perhaps a lack of harmony in the choruses, that carried 
us into moods, intricate and inexplicable, that were little short of rapture. The change 
to-day is not so much in the singing of new songs, for the best of the old songs still hold 
their own from year to year, but in the self-consciousness, the lack of spontaneity, in 
the singers. "Senior Singing" has become a stunt, written about in books and public 

139 



prints; it is "something to hear" to the world at large, and consequently must be taken 
seriously, almost as an academic exercise. . . . The campus is thronged with 
visitors, members of the Faculty bring their wives and sisters-in-law to hear the song 
which made the Faculty famous, each professor proud to have his memory embalmed 
in a verse of it. (Getting into the Faculty Song is, to some of the Faculty, almost what 
making a club is to the sophomore.) The undergraduates bring all their guests — and 
guests are more numerous now than we ever dreamed they could be. Proud parents 
and gushing girls sit on camp-stools and applaud each song to the echo. From down 
Nassau Street and Alexander Street and Witherspoon Street come ladies trundling 
baby-carriages and' damsels with bags of peanuts. With all this audience eager to be 
pleased, has grown up a corresponding desire, in the singers, to please. "The Pope" 
and "Rum-ski-ho" are "numbers" on a programme and are conscientiously rehearsed 
beforehand in Murray Hall ! Where are the voices of yesterday, when those who couldn't 
sing "made a joyful noise" and everybody was happy? I think it is the self -conscious- 
ness born of literary advertisement that has changed the nature of the custom. The 
"rush," too, has become public; and last October I saw baby-carriages hustling to get 
out of the way of the onslaught ; but there is enough earnestness in the rush to prevent 
grand-stand playing. ... To come back to the front campus and senior singing. 
The old favorites are still sung. The popular song of the day disappears after one season, 
but the rest remain. The Faculty Song, already referred to, has expanded into the 
proportions of an epic. We miss verses now and then; several venerable gentlemen, 
known and beloved by us, celebrated in song and story, have gone, and the very omission 
of certain lines makes a man homesick. But there is a liberal supply of new lines. The 
preceptors were heralded thus, last year, in a stanza ominous to the present senior class : 

"Here's to those preceptor guys 
Who're coming here to make us wise; 
Too late to stuff it down our throats, 
They'll make poor 'Oughty-Six the goats!" 

This year's version is : 

"Here's to those preceptor guys, 
Fifty stiffs to make us wise; 
Easy job and lots of pay. 
Work the students night and day." 

There is another song to the tune of Tamman}'' which was "sung with great 
success" last year, apropos of the Lake. Thus: 

Carnegie, Carnegie, 

He is building us a lake — 

You can hear the breakers break; 

Carnegie, Carnegie, 

Andy, Andy, you're a dandy, Carnegie! 

140 



And another to the same tune is : 

Faculty, Faculty, 

They will give us our degree, 

P. D. Q. or C. O. D.; 

Faculty, Faculty, 

Pensum, pensum, now and then some, 

Faculty ! 

Of the Faculty Song itself, the verse to President Wilson is a satisfactory endorse- 
ment of his policy. But when it comes to 

Johnnie, Johnnie Topley, 

Do you want me? 
there has been a change. 

I do not want to imply too much in what I have said. To each generation its 
own way is best. And already there is a reaction against set forms of senior singing. 
As it is now, they sing better than we could sing; and given the twilight of the rising 
moon, the outline of Nassau Hall against the sky, the hushed murmur of the listeners — 
I do not doubt that Roniance is abroad in her old haunts and that her presence is sensible 
to these younger men even though we of a former generation have no longer eyes to 
see and ears to hear. There's one song, at least, the best song ever written, that is never 
perfunctory, never studied. All the old spirit, the enthusiasm, the loyalty, the love of 
generations of Princetonians, blaze out in that last song of all : 

Her sons will give 

While they shall live 

Three cheers for Old Nassau ! 

There is never any change there. 

I have been asked, especially, for a report on two things that I might have ignored 
as having no concern with student life — chapel and recitations. Chapel exercises are 
held every morning in Marquand Chapel, beginning at 8.50 and lasting till 9.10. The 
student is required to attend twice a week. He sits where he pleases in the section 
assigned to his Class, and when the hymn has been sung writes his name on a card (pro- 
vided by the University) and gives it to a "spotter" at the door. He may attend chapel 
four times one week, if he so pleases, and rest the next (I assume his point of view) ; 
or he may make up one week's absences by four cards the next ; but woe betide him if 
he "over-cuts." No excuses are received, even for illness; and he is suspended forth- 
with. The vesper services on Sunday, which to many of us were the best of all, have been 
dropped altogether. And yet there is no appreciable lowering of the moral standards 
of the student. . . . The recitations and lectures for the day begin at eight o'clock 
(like the "Dean's English") and run right through until two o'clock, after which a 
man's time is his own. It is a much better scheme than the old one, and more satis- 
factory to everybody concerned.

THE OLD-TIME CENTRE OF THE COLLEGE 



On the campus, men kick 
football in the autumn, and the 
first spring day brings out the base- 
balls and bats. "Thank you!" is 
still a modest request for you to 
return a ball that barely missed 
hitting you on the head. 
To our surprise the centre of 
the campus has been changed. 
No longer is it the plot of bare 
ground in front of Reunion, but 
the sidewalk in front of Gulick's ! 
There one sits on a bench, and 
hears the latest "scandal," and 
smokes and rallies the passers-by. 
Exactly why the move has come 
about, I cannot say. Those of us 
who loved the steps of Reunion can 
The vernacular of the campus changes easily. Ninety- 
song about us, referring to us collectively, as "fruits 
"fruit" has no meaning now. 



Not long ago I heard 
"Plumber" and "piker" 
'sad bird." "Scandal" 
"bicker session" or a 



only wonder at the taste, 
five had an opprobrious 
and freaks. ' ' The word 

an '88 man use it — the only time I have heard it for years, 
came and passed, and to-day a man is a "gloom" or a 
passes current for any bit of harmless gossip; and a 
"bickerbee" (wherein one is occasionally "stung") is a general conversation party. It is 
strange that the "system" has not created more new words and phrases; perhaps it is 
a little early as yet. One word which has come in with the preceptors is "floater," a 
term used to describe a student not in a Department who, nevertheless, elects a course 
in it to fill out his schedule. The word is not of undergraduate origin, but began in 
faculty councils, where it was soon barred out as undignified and slangy. But it has 
been adopted by the floaters themselves and has probably come to stay. The preceptors 
are facetiously styled "persecutors," but that Etonian word lacks the true flavor of true 
slang. Polling and bootlicking are still spades ; and there is more'of the former and less 
of the latter than in our youth. ... Of words peculiar to the Princeton under- 
graduate there are but few, new or old. The present artists in slang take George Ade 
or the "refined vaudeville" as their masters. 

There are two trolley-lines to Trenton, and Trenton is Trenton still, with the 
added attraction of a "refined vaudeville" place, the Trent. There the student finds 
relief for an over-preceptored mind. I was told yesterday that of ten men going down 
by trolley not long ago to see "In the Swim," nine were reading "Othello" on the way 
down! That's the way the System works. 

But after all, I have not touched undergraduate life, the every-day life of the 
fourteen hundred young men who make up the University community. They go to bed 



142 



late and stay late in bed. Chapel is a twice-a-week function now, and signing a card is 
not an arduous business. They play Bridge at the Clubs, and I hear the word Poker 
mentioned occasionally. The Inn does business at the old stand, but I doubt if there is 
as much of it as there used to be when Arthur Bave and the New York Voice united 
their efforts to make it popular. ' ' Dohm's " is a tale that is told ; the old tables were lost 
in a fire last summer, and the present proprietor is not exclusive in his choice of guests. 
"Scud's" and the "Nassau" are still names to conjure with, but I doubt, even there, if 
there is quite as much magic as of old. 

And the preceptors have come to town, a motley crowd from all the world over. 
They have met the Princeton student and have capitulated in every instance. The 
attitude of the student toward the new men has never been anything less than courteous, 
and in many instances it has been cordial. The Tiger pokes his fun at the System and 
an occasional sophomore thinks he is overworked ; but those of us among the preceptors 
who are Princeton men have more cause than ever to be proud of Princeton and the 
Princeton Spirit. The new men on the faculty, so far as I know, without exception have 
become in one year thoroughly Princetonian ; upholders of Princeton tradition and 
spirit, good rooters at the games ; and they can sing our songs with the genuine ring that 
brings the lump to your throat and the mist to your eyes. And the simple student has 
made it possible. Frank, honest, courteous, hospitable, these undergraduates of to-day 
are the Real Thing. They have all our spirit and more. It is the touch that makes us 
all kin in the final issue. It is the Spirit that underlies undergraduate life in Princeton, 
unchanged and unchangeable; the Spirit that took the boys to war in '76, that divided 
them in '61, that called them out together again in '98; the Spirit that wins games and 
knows how to lose them ; that works and plays, rightly or wrongly, and will save us in 
the end. Come down in June, hear these boys sing "Old Nassau," and thank God you 
are a Princeton Man. 

Francis Charles MacDonald.

ATHLETICS 

The '96 Decennial Record contains a brief history of Princeton athletics — es- 
pecially football and baseball — during our undergraduate days and the succeeding ten 
years. It is hoped that this will prove acceptable to the men living outside of the United 
States, who are unable to keep very closely in touch with our athletic history as it is 
made. Those of us who are nearer together may be glad to have some statistics for ready 
reference, when a discusson arises about the score of an old baseball game, or about the 
personnel of the football team a few years ago. We are indebted for the following con- 
densed statistics to the Princeton Alumni Weekly and the excellent "History of Athletics 
at Princeton." 

The character of the annual football and baseball contests with Yale has changed 
since we were in college. The last football game with Yale in New York was played in 
1896. Since then the contests have been held on college grounds. This has led to a de- 
crease in the size of the crowd in attendance, but a marked improvement in its quality. 
We now have permanent stands situated so as to be available for both baseball and 
football games, and the general arrangement of the 'Varsity Field during the games is 
materially changed from the days when we used to watch the practice and a good many 
of the games, from the grass on the side-lines, without a thought of a stand to sit on.

Princeton 4 



Since our Senior year, Princeton has won four games and Yale six. The two 
colleges have played continuously since 1876. The first game was played in 1873. Of 
the total of thirty-one games played, Princeton has won nine and Yale sixteen. Four were 
tie games, neither side scoring. In these years of tie games (1877, 1879, 1880, 1881), 



144 



the championship was once undecided, twice awarded to Princeton and once to Yale, 
the title being based on the results of the games with Harvard. Two games were un- 
finished. In the first, in 1884, with the score 6 to 4 in favor of Yale, Moffat of Princeton 
kicked a goal from the field, which the referee refused to allow, as he had not seen the 
play. The game was unfinished on account of darkness. The second, in 1886, stood 
6 to in favor of Yale, and was unfinished on account of darkness. The summary is : 
Games won by Princeton 9; games won by Yale 16; tie games 4; unfinished games 2; 
total games played 31. 

The football series with Harvard has resulted in eleven victories for Princeton (1877 
fall, 1878, 1879, 1880, 1883, 1884, 1886, 1888, 1889, 1895, 1896); three for Harvard 
(spring 1877, 1882, 1887), and one tie game without scores (1881). The two colleges 
have not met in a football game since 1896. 

Since our graduation, the Yale-Harvard games have resulted as follows: 1896, no 
game; 1897, tie game, no score ; 1898, Harvard 17, Yale 0; 1899, tie game, no score; 1900, 
Yale 28, Harvard, 0; 1901, Harvard 21, Yale 0; 1902, Yale 23, Harvard 0; 1903, Yale 17, 
Harvard 0; 1904 ,Yale 12, Harvard 0; 1905, Yale 6, Harvard 0. 

As between Yale, Harvard and Princeton, the championship title has been held 
as follows, since 1873: Yale, fifteen championships (1876, 1881, 1882, 1883, 1887, 1888, 
1891, 1892, 1894, 1895, 1897, 1900, 1902, 1904, 1905). Princeton, ten championships 
(1873, 1878, 1879, 1880, 1885, 1889, 1893, 1896, 1899, 1903). Harvard, two champion- 
ships (1890, 1901). Undecided, four times (1877, 1884, 1886, 1898). 

In the season of 1898, Yale was beaten by both Harvard and Princeton, but they 
did not play to decide the championship. In 1894, 1895, 1897, 1904 and 1905, Penn- 
sylvania disputed Yale's title, having beaten Harvard. In the years of Princeton's and 
Harvard's championships, in the above summary, the others of the Big Four lost at least 
one game. 

We have not sufficient space to tabulate all the minor games of the last ten years. 
Since 1896, the teams of the smaller colleges have made remarkable advances in football, 
and matters are now so changed that Yale, Princeton and Harvard, who until lately had 
only one another to fear, have several times been defeated in preliminary games by the 
teams of Cornell, West Point, Dartmouth, Annapolis, Columbia and Amherst, while tie 
games have not been infrequent during the early season. 

In the last decade the annual football game between the Army and Navy has 
grown greatly in popular favor. When it was first decided to play the game on a neutral 
field, the football field of the University of Pennsylvania was the arena of conflict. In 
1905, the game was transferred to Princeton. The score was Army 6, Navy 6. Prince- 
ton has never had a more brilliant audience in attendance at a football game. Princeton's 
hospitality delighted the guests from the Army and Navy, but the railroad arrangements 
were hardly satisfactory ; so it is doubtful whether the game will be played at Princeton 
again. 

The following is a brief resume of Princeton's games with Yale and Harvard, 
during our college course and since our graduation, with the names of the players on 
both sides. 

145 



1S92— IN NKW YORK, NOVEMBKR 24. 
Yale scored a touchdown on the third play of the game on a long end run by L. Bliss. Yale 
scored again in the second half on Stillman's block of a kick. Score: Yale 12, Princeton 0. Prince- 
ton— Trenchard '95 (R. E.), Harrold '93 (R. T.), Hall '96 (R. G.), Balliet '94 (C), Wheeler '95 (L. G.),

C. Bliss (R. H. B.), Butterworth (F. B.). 



1893— IN NEW YORK, NOVEMBER 30. 
Both colleges had excellent teams. Princeton 
scored toward the end of the first half on a succession 
of tandem plays, Ward making the touchdown. No 
scoring was done in the second half, although the ball 
was in Yale's territory almost all the time, and was 
repeatedly carried within Yale's ten-yard line. The 
features of this half were Morse's long run on a long 
pass, and several long runs by King, carrying back 
kicks. Score: Princeton 6, Yale 0. Princeton — 
Brown '95 (L. E.), Holly '95 (L. T.), Wheeler '95

MEMORIES OF '93 



-IN NEW YORK, DECEMBER 1. 
Yale completely outclassed Princeton in knowledge of the game and physical condition. Yale 
Ecored three times in the first half and once in the second. The game was played in a pouring rain, 
and there were consequently many mistakes in handling the ball. Score : Yale 24, Princeton 0. Prince- 
ton— Brown '95 (L. E.), Holly '95 (L. T.), Wheeler '96 (L. G.), Riggs '97 (C), Rhodes '97 (R. G.), 
Taylor '95 (R. T.), Trenchard '95 (R. E.), Ward '95 (Q.), Poe '97 (L- H. B.), Rosengarten '97 (L. H. B.),

1895— IN PRINCETON, NOVEMBER 2. 
Yale and Harvard broke off athletic relations this year, and a game was arranged between Harvard 
and Princeton. The Harvard team was a decided favorite. During the first half Harvard's strong 
attack kept the ball in Princeton's territory, but was unable to score. Toward the end of the half 
Harvard fumbled the ball on Princeton's five-yard line, and Suter, the Princeton quarter-back, picked 
up the ball and made a ninety-yard run. The apparently sure touchdown was prevented by a tackle 



146 



from behind by Harvard's half-back, C. Brewer. The half ended without scoring. In the second half, 
Harvard was held for downs on her own five-yard line fumble, and Princeton immediately scored her first 
touchdown. A blocked kick soon afterward gave Harvard her only score, and on a similar play Princeton 
scored a few minutes later. Princeton's third touchdown was made toward the end of the game, on a 
double pass at Harvard's fifteen-yard line. Score: Princeton 12, Harvard 4. Princeton — Hearn '96 
(L. E.), Church '97 (L. T.), Riggs '97 (L. G.), Wentz '99 (L. G.), Gailey P. G. (C), Rhodes '97 (R. G.), 
hea '96 (Captain, R. T.), Tyler '97 (R. T.), Cochran '98 (R. E.), Suter '9^ (Q.), Rosengarten '97 (L. H B.), 
Armstrong '98 (R. H. B.), Bannard '98 (R. H. B.), Baird '99 (F. B.). Harvard— Cabot (L. E.), Steven- 
son (L. T.), Hallowell (L. T.), Holt (L. G.), Shaw (C), Doucette (C), Jaffray (R. G.), Donald (R. T.), 
A. Brewer (Captain, R. E.), Newell (R. E.), Borden (Q.), Wrightington (L. H. B.), Gonteman (L. H. B.), 
C. Brewer (R. H. B.), Fairchild (F. B.), Dunlop (F. B.). 

1895— IN NEW YORK, NOVEMBER 23. 
This was a most spectacular game, full of surprises. The teams were well matched. In the first 
half, Bass, Yale's left end, picked up a fumbled ball and carried it across the line for a touchdown. 
Yale made a second score in this half, on a series of rushes following a blocked kick. Yale scored a third 
time early in the second half on a long run by Thorne, and a series of rushes. With the score heavily 
against her, Princeton then scored twice, first on a series of rushes from the center of the field, and then 
after a kick, blocked by Tyler, who followed the ball down the field for a touchdown. Toward the end 
of the game, Yale's captain, Thorne, made a remarkable run through the entire Princeton team, on a 
fake kick. Score: Yale 20, Princeton 10. Princeton — Lea '96 (Captain, L. E.), Thompson '97 (L. E.), 
Church '97 (L. T.), Riggs '97 (L. G.), Wentz '99 (L. G.), Gailey P. G. (C), Rhodes '97 (R. G.), Tyler '97

(Captain, L. H. B.), DeWitt (R. H. B.), Jerrems (F. B.). 

1896— IN CAMBRIDGE, NOVEMBER 7. 
The first half of the game resulted in no scores. Princeton played a kicking game as there was a 
strong wind with her. In the middle of the second half, Bannard scored for Princeton on a forty- yard 
run. Toward the end of the game, a blocked kick gave Princeton her second tally Score : Princeton 12, 
Harvard 0. Princeton— Brokaw '97 (L. E.) Thompson '97 (L. E.) Church '97 (L. T.), Crowdis '99

1896— IN NEW YORK, NOVEMBER 21. 
Princeton developed this year the strongest eleven in her history. As individuals the players 
were not stars, but no other Princeton team has ever developed such team work, ;peed and effective 
attack. Taking advantage of the one weak point in Princeton's game, Yale scored first on a blocked 
kick. Princeton then changed her tactics and put into action an attack which could not be stopped. 
By the use of the revolving tandem (the "turtle back"), first used this year, and short end runs she 
scored five touchdowns. This was the most decisive victory ever scored against Yale. The most 
spectacular feature was Smith's long run in the first half, after receiving the ball from Baird, who had 
been tackled after catching a punt. Score: Princeton 24, Yale 6. Princeton — Brokaw '97 (L. E.),

1897— AT NEW HAVEN, NOVEMBER 20. 
Princeton's team was a decided favorite this year, but her hard games in the early part of the 
season brought the team to a weakened physical condition, which did much to decide the result of the 
game with Yale. The revolving tandem play, which had proved so effective the year before, was easily 
stopped. Princeton's attack had little effect until the end of the second half, when a disastrous fumble 
ended things. Neither side scored in the first half. De Saulles, Yale's quarter-back, made a long run 
from the kick off of the second half, and Yale soon after made the only score of the game. Score: Yale 
6, Princeton 0. Princeton— Craig P. G. (L. E.), Holt '00 (L. T.), Crowdis '99 (L. G.), Booth '00 (C),

1898— AT PRINCETON, NOVEMBER 12. 
Yale greatly outclassed Princeton in her ability to rush the ball, but the Yale backs made several 
bad fumbles at critical moments. After one of these in the first half, with the ball on Princeton's fifteen - 
yard line, Arthur Poe, Princeton's end, picked up the ball and ran ninety-five yards for a touchdown. 
He repeated the performance in the second half, but the referee would not allow the play. Princeton 
excelled in every department of the kicking game, the assistance given by the ends being wonderful, and 
won for that reason. They repeatedly had the ball within Yale's fifteen-yard line, but could not carry 
it across the line. For full poetical particulars, read "Poe's Run," by McCready Sykes, '94. Score: 
Princeton 6, Yale 0. Princeton— Palmer '98 (L. E.), Geer '99 (L. T.), Crowdis '99 (L. G.), Mills '02

1899— AT NEW HAVEN, NOVEMBER 25 

In the early part of this season, Princeton lost to Cornell, 5 to 0, in a game of twenty-minute 
halves. Young, Cornell's quarter-back, kicked a field goal a few minutes before the second half ended. 
Yale, too, had tasted preliminary defeat this year, at the hands of Columbia, in October, 5 to 0. This 
was the most sensational game ever played between the two colleges. Princeton scored a few minutes 
after the game began, after a fifty-yard end run by Reiter, behind splendid interference. Reiter was 
stopped by a fine tackle from behind, on the one-yard line, but the ball was pushed over in the next 
three plays, and the goal was kicked. Soon after, Yale blocked a Princeton punt, and fell on the ball 
for a touchdown. Yale missed the try for a goal, at a difficult angle, with the sun in the eyes of their 
kicker. Brown, who had just blocked the punt. Within a few minutes, Yale's half-back, Sharpe, kicked 
a beautiful field goal from the forty-five yard line, and the first half ended with a score of 10 to 6 in Yale's 
favor. 

Princeton's defense was invulnerable against rushing, all through the game. Yale excelled in 
physical condition. Near the end of the second half, only three members of the original Princeton team 
remained in the play. Nineteen men played for Princeton in the game. Princeton's substitutes gave 
her added freshness and strength in attack towa d the end of the game. During this half there was 
little kicking, and both teams tried to hold the ball. A few minutes before the game ended, McBride, 
Yale's captain, fumbled on a line play and Princeton got the ball. A few rushes carried it to the Yale 
twenty-five yard line. Thirty seconds were left for play. The ball was passed to Arthur Poe, the end, 
who dropped a fine field goal from the thirty-five yard line, snatching victory from defeat. Sykes's poem, 
'Poe's Kick," celebrates this victory. Score: Princeton 11, Yale 10. Princeton — Palmer '98 (L. E.),

1900— AT PRINCETON, NOVEMBER 17. 

This was Princeton's most disastrous season. Cornell completely outplayed her on November 3, 
and won 12 to 0. Columbia defeated Princeton 6 to 5, three days afterward, on Election Day, no 
practice intervening after the hard game with Cornell. An unusual decision by the referee deprived 
Princeton of a chance to kick a goal after a touchdown. This might have prevented the loss of the game. 

The heavy Yale team of veterans completely outcla sed the light and inexperienced Princeton 
team, and the story of 1896 was reversed. Yale scored five touchdowns, and Princeton took advantage 
of her only opportunity by scoring on a field goal by Mattis. Score : Yale 29, Princeton 5. Princeton —

1901— AT NEW HAVEN, NOVEMBER 16. 
Princeton and Yale met afte- successful preliminary seasons, but Princeton's high hopes were 
dashed. Yale's superior attack scored two touchdowns, one in each half. Princeton showed poor 
judgment in kicking too often on the first or second down, and did not develop her attack till toward 
he end of the game. Score: Yale 12, Princeton 0. Yale was badly defeated by Harvard a week later, 
21 to 0. Princeton— Davis (L. E.), Pell (Captain, L. T.), Mills (L. G.), Butkiewicz (L. G.), Fisher (C),

(R. H. B.), Weymouth (F. B.). 

1902— AT PRINCETON, NOVEMBER 15. 
Princeton scored first on a fifty-yard field goal by DeWitt, a few minutes after the game began. 
Captain Chadwick twice broke through the Princeton line, and made long runs of fifty and sixty yards 
for touchdowns. There was no scoring in the second half. Yale's team surpassed Princeton's in weight, 
age and experience. Score: Yale 12, Princeton 5. Princeton — Davis (Captain, L. E.), Crawford

1903— AT NEW HAVEN, NOVEMBER 14. 
This year's game brought a pleasant reversal of football honors. Princeton won the undisputed 
championship of the East. Yale's strong attack resulted in a touchdown by Hogan in the first fifteen 
minutes of play. Princeton had rushed the ball nearly to the Yale line a few minutes earlier. Yale 
started on her way toward a second score, but was held on Princeton's eighteen-yard line. Mitchell 
tried for a goal from the field. The kick was blocked. DeWitt picked up the ball, and, aided by fine 
interference by the ends, ran seventy-five yards for a touchdown. The first half ended 6 to 6. In the

second half Yale's team weakened, and toward the end P.inceton made a long run on a fake kick. De- 
Witt tried for a field goal and missed. Yale kicked out the ball to the forty-eight yard line, where it 
was heeled by Vetterlein for a free kick. DeWitt kicked a superb goal from placement. The game 
ended a minute afterward. Score: Princeton 11, Yale 6. Yale beat Harvard 17 to the week after-

1904— AT PRINCETON, NOVEMBER 12. 
In the preliminary season Princeton lost to Annapolis, 10 to 9, and Yale lost to West Point, 
11 to 6. This was probably the most uninteresting game ever played between Yale and Princeton. 
This game and the Yale-Harvard game the same year have been made the text for many of the recent 
discussions on the subject of eliminating mass plays and making the game more open. Mass play after 
mass play was the order of the contest. Yale's heavy team pushed Princeton back steadily for two 
scores in the first half, the first following one good run after a delayed pass. Princeton gained con- 
sistently through Yale's line in the second half, but neither side could tally. Score : Yale 12, Princeton 0.

1905— AT NEW HAVEN, NOVEMBER 18. 
Princeton lost a preliminary game to Dartmouth. Yale went through the season undefeated. 
She won from Princeton by a one-sided score, which does not represent the relative strength of the 
two teams. Princeton gained more ground than Yale in the first half, and during the entire game was 
often dangerously near the Yale goal line. Yale scored four times, on several series of short rushes, 
which followed advantages she had gained by Princeton's muff of a punt, two excellent long runs by 
Yale backs after catching kicks, and a most unusual kick by Princeton, which bounded backward and 
into the hands of a Yale back, who carried it for a long run. Princeton played pluckily and with her 
old-time spirit. Both teams were strong aggressively and weak on the defense. Toward the end of the 
second half Princeton's attack came near the Yale goal again, but not near enough for a touchdown, 
although a field goal was kicked. Score: Yale 23, Princeton 4. Princeton — Brasher (L. E.), O'Brien 
(L. E.), Cooney (Captain, L. T.), Rafferty (L. G.), P. Waller (L. G.), Carothers (C). J. C. Waller (C),

In the winter of 1906, concerted action was taken by the prominent American 
universities to restrict athletics within proper bounds, and remove some of the abuses 
that had crept in during the course of years. Yale, Harvard and Princeton have estabhshed 
new rules of eligibility, which have been adopted with modifications by almost all the 
other colleges. By these rules, freshmen and others who have not completed their first 
year of study at the university are not eligible for membership on Varsity teams. Near- 
ly all graduate students are likewise ineligible, and no one may compete as a member of a 
university team for more than three years. These rules apply to all branchesof athletics. 
The rules for the game of football have been materially amended.

BASEBALL 

In the last ten years, Princeton has won seven series and eighteen games, and 
Yale has won three series and thirteen games, in the yearly baseball contests between 
the two colleges. The record of all their games since 1867 is: Yale, twenty series and 
fifty-six games won; Princeton, eleven series and thirty-five games won; one tie game 
(1890); and five drawn series (1873, 1875, 1881, 1883, 1889). 

The record with Harvard since 1868, stands: Harvard, fourteen series and forty 
games won ; Princeton, thirteen series and thirty-five games won ; two tie games (1876 and 
1879) ; and five drawn series (1879, 1882, 1886, 1889, 1900). Last year (1905) Harvard 
won the single game played, which represented their first serigs won from Princeton since 
'Ninety-Six's Freshman year. In the last ten years, Princeton has won seven series, and 
Harvard one. 

During the same ten-year period, Princeton has won the baseball championship, 
as between Harvard, Yale and Princeton, five times (1896, 1897, 1899, 1903, 1904). Yale 
won in 1898 and 1905. Harvard and Princeton were tied in their own series in 1900, 
and did not play in 1901 ; but both defeated Yale in these years. In 1902, Yale defeated 
Princeton, Princeton defeated Harvard, and Harvard defeated Yale, so there was no 
championship. Harvard won from Yale continuously from 1899 to 1904. Since 1893, 
Harvard has not won an undisputed baseball championship in virtue of defeating both 
Yale and Princeton. 

Lack of space prevents printing detailed scores of the baseball games during our 
college course, and since 1896; but for purposes of reference the personnel of each Prince- 
ton team in the Yale and Harvard games, and the scores of these games, are given as

Three games of baseball during this period of ten years are notable for their termination in 
victory after a whirlwind "Princeton finish," impressing upon our rivals that Princeton is not beaten 
while the game is unfinished. 

In 1900, Princeton won the first game from Yale at New Haven, but the course of the second 
game brought little hope to Old Nassau. Yale piled up four runs during their nine innings, but not a 
Princeton man reached second base until the ninth inning. Then a fine batting rally brought in five 
runs and an unnecessary sixth. Six safe hits and some poor work by the Yale team gave Princeton 
the game in a scene of excitement which has never been equalled on our Varsity Field. 

In 1903, the deciding game was played in New York. Princeton had already defeated Harvard, 
who won from Yale later. Yale's good work and Princeton's errors on a muddy diamond brought the 
score to six to one in Yale's favor at the end of the eighth inning. Yale's "Undertaker" song, "No Hope 
for Princeton," rang out loud and clear as the ninth inning began. The spectators were begining to file 
out of the grounds. Four safe hits by Princeton brought in one run and filled the bases, with two men 
out. Before the third man was retired, Princeton made two more singles, and a two bagger, and the 
score stood seven to six in Princeton's favor. Yale went out in order in the ninth, and the Championship 
was safe for Old Nassau. 

In the 1904 game with Harvard, the Crimson led by six to nothing after six innings were played. 
Princeton made three in the seventh, and one in the eighth. Three more in the ninth won the game, 
and showed our friends from Cambridge that the Princeton finish was not reserved for Yale alone.

MINOR ATHLETICS 



It would be impossible to give in this book any full account of the constantly in- 
creasing branches of minor athletics. Since our time, golf, basket-ball, wrestling and 
hockey have been added to our Varsity athletics, and teams now represent the University 
in Intercollegiate contests in these branches of sport. Polo, fencing, association foot- 
ball have been tried, but have not won much favor as yet. The gymnastic team now 
enters an annual Intercollegiate meet, and holds dual contests with other colleges. Tennis 
and track athletics are followed about as they were during our time, with perhaps a little 
more success. The track team now holds dual meets with Yale and Cornell. 

In these minor branches of athletics, where the larger numbers of other colleges 
count in their favor, Princeton's career has not been comparable with her excellent 
record in football and baseball. Princeton men. Little, '01, and Alexander, '02, have won 
two championships each in singles and doubles in the Intercollegiate tennis tournaments; 
and Thomson, '98, also, won the Intercollegiate tennis championship. Three Princeton 
men, Bayard, '98, Pyne, '03 and Reinhart, '04, have held the Intercollegiate golf cham- 
pionship. Princeton won one of the Intercollegiate bicycle meets, which have now been 
discontinued. Cregan, '99, won the Intercollegiate individual championship in the 

cross-country run in 1899. 

H. M. Harriman of our own class won the Amateur 
Golf Championship of the United States in 1898. He was 
the first golfer of American birth to win this event. An- 
other Princeton man, James, '05, won the same honor in 
1901. Relatively small numbers have always prevented 
our taking a leading part in the Mott Haven games. In 
1898 and 1900, we finished ahead of Yale and Harvard, 
and a good second to the very strong team that Penn- 
sylvania had in those years. In 1902, we were third, 
separated by a very small margin from the leaders, Yale 
and Harvard. Cornell won the Mott Haven meet in 1905. 
In 1900 Princeton sent a track team of six men to 
compete in the Olympic Games at Paris. The French 
officials in charge mismanaged things and deprived some 
Princeton men of their right to enter. This was partially 
due to the official decision to hold some events on Sunday. 
The Princeton men and others from the American colleges 
refused to enter on that day. Princeton men won first 
in the 100 metre dash, and second in the half-mile run, 
and first in an exhibition pole vault. 
In the fall of 1905, the Athletic Field House was burned. A new house, three 
stories in height, is being rebuilt on the same site.

PRINCETON FRESHMEN HAPPY 
Their Nine Wins a Close Game from Harvard '96 

[Special to the World.] 

Princeton, April 29. — Harvard's Freshman 
team received a defeat at the hands of Prince- 
ton '96 to-day. 

The game was interesting from the start, but 
from the sixth inning the excitement was intense. 
In this inning Princeton tied the score and finally 
won by a single run. The Harvards began by 
making an onslaught on Pitcher Herr, making 
three earned runs in the first and two earned runs 
in the third inning. Wilson, who relieved him, 
kept the hits well scattered. The score:

THE COMMITTEE OF FIFTY 

The publication of the reports of the Treasurer of Princeton Uni\ersity has 
revealed, from time to time, that the imposing work of the whole University is conducted 
on the income of about $3,000,000 of invested funds, the income from which is about 
$120,000 a year. The current expenses of the University, exclusive of the cost of the 
erection of new buildings, is approximately $500,000, and the total revenue from the under- 
graduate body $250,000; a deficiency, therefore, of $130,000 must be met each year. 

Under the old method of conducting the finances of the University, it was the 
custom to establish a fund for each expense incurred, and where there was not sufficient 
money in the treasury to meet the requirements a systematic canvass was made of the 
alumni body, with the result that an intolerable situation existed for the trustees of the 
University ; for each dollar that was raised by this method came into the University 
pledged for a specific purpose, and the surplus of one fund could not be devoted to the 
deficit of another and the trustees were hampered in their work. Moreover, there was a 
tendency on the part of many who gave to contribute only to special funds, so that 
gradually certain departments of the University were making great progress while other, 
and frequently more necessary, departments suffered. The situation was as intoler- 
able for the alumni, for they were being unceasingly canvassed for funds. 

As a remedial measure, the Board of Trustees at its meeting held in December, 
1904, authorized the President of the University to appoint a Committee of Fifty to 
provide for the immediate necessities and future developments of the University. Mr. 
Cleveland H. Dodge, '79, was appointed Chairman of this committee, and Mr. George 
W. Burleigh, '92, was elected Secretary. At the end of the first year's work, Mr. Bur- 
leigh resigned and was succeeded by Mr. H. G. Murray, '93, of New York. This 
committee has charge of the raising of funds for the University Budget, as well as for 
the endowment of the University, and its work, therefore, is two-fold : to raise the en- 
dowment of the University and to raise mone}^ for current expenses. 

The Finance Committee of the University recently merged all of the different 
funds into the College Budget, making one general fund or budget. The Committee of 
Fifty will endeavor to have every dollar that is paid into the University through its 
friends, come unpledged, so that from this common fund the Trustees may apportion the 
money for the various needs of the University unhampered and as they deem fit. It is 
the purpose of the Committee of Fifty to make a thorough canvass of each alumnus and 
ask him to give each year to the needs of the University as much as he feels he can afford 
to. Subscribing in this way will make an alumnus immune from further solicitation so 
far as the University purse is concerned. What a man's class may ask of him or his club 
is a matter over which the Committee of Fifty has no jurisdiction, as they represent the 
Trustees ; but that the alumnus may not be indiscriminately and everlastingly approached 
for funds, this plan has been presented. The advantage of the whole plan, when under- 
stood, is at once apparent, not only for the Trustees, but for the alumni body as well. 

164 



There are three ways in which the Committee of Fifty are raising funds. The 
first, known as the endowment form, in which the subscriber agrees to pay a principal 
sum to the University at the expiration of a given period and five per cent, interest on 
the amount of his subscription annually to the College until the principal is paid in. 
This is the most desirable form in which to give, as the money is invested at five per cent, 
as soon as it is subscribed. The principal, when it is paid in, goes to swell the endow- 
ment of the University, the interest, the budget. The second form, and the one most 
frequently used, is known as the term form, where the subscriber agrees to pay a certain 
sum each year to the University, either for a definite number of years or until "further 
notice." The third form is known as the annual and consists of a flat subscription. 

The Committee of Fifty, after one year's work, has succeeded in raising over 
$1,000,000, its income being in the neighborhood of $100,000. $500,000 is pledged in the 
endowment form and $300,000 invested in the building of McCosh Hall. 

The additional expense of $100,000 incurred by the establishment of the Pre- 
ceptorial System has been, and will be, the chief care of the Committee. The annual 
income at present is not sufficient to pay the expenses of this system, but in the near 
future the Committee will undoubtedly have a sufficient income to do so, and may look 
toward the investing of money for endowment.

Just before leaving college we made arrangements to have subscriptions for our 
"Memorial Fund" collected by the Class Secretary. Before graduation about fifty 
men agree to become annual subscribers. During the last ten years about one hundred 
more have also become subscribers, either for single payments or annual instalments. 
The total number of subscribers at the present time is about one hundred and fiftv. It 
is difficult to give the exact number, as many subscriptions are somewhat indefinite in 
their nature. 

The subscriptions for the first few years after our graduation were not many in number, 
and the small amounts collected had to be borrowed from time to time for the General 
Class Fund, which has been in a nearly bankrupt condition until the last year. All 
the moneys so borrowed have been repaid with full interest, and there is at the present 
time no indebtedness from the General Fund to the Memorial Fund. Our subscription 
grew slowly during the years when we had no definite object in view. 

About three years ago, representatives of the ten classes from 1892 to 1901, in- 
clusive, decided to co-operate in a scheme to present to the University a dormitorv to 
be the gift of these ten classes. The general outlines of this scheme are explained in the 
following extract from the report of the Ten-Class Committee having the work in charge : 

The building will occupy a position east of Brokaw Field and south of Brown Hall. It will be 
the beginning of a series of buildings which the trustees propose to erect at some future time on the east 
and south sides of Brokaw Field. While it will be a part of the general plan for the development of 
that section of the campus, it will be a separate building connected with the others by an arcade only 
and will thus preserve its identity as the gift of the ten classes from 1892 to 1901 inclusive. 

The Alumni Dormitory Committee has made the following agreement with the Board of Trustees 
of the University: 

In consideration of the ten classes undertaking to increase their present cash deposits to the sum 
of $50,000 before the construction of the building is begun ; and in consideration also of their under- 
taking to collect an additional $10,000 during the construction of the building, the Trustees of the 
University agree to advance the balance necessary to complete it. When the building is ready for occu- 
pancy the Trustees of the University agree to pay to the Alumni Dormitory Committee three per cent 
interest per annum on payments made by the several classes. When a class shall have paid $13,000 it 
will cease to draw interest ; and if twelve years shall have elapsed since the graduation of any class 
without that class having paid $13,000, said class shall thereupon cease to draw interest unless its annual 
payments thereafter shall be at least $1,000. It is understood and agreed as between the Alumni 
Dormitory Committee and the Trustees of the University that the interest thus allowed on payments 
made by the several classes is to be paid back to the University on account of the building fund. This 
arrangement gives the younger classes the same advantage of accruing interest that the older classes 
have already secured in raising their funds. It has been further agreed that when a class shall have paid 
in full its share of the expense the said class will be entitled to place in one of the entries of the building 
a suitable memorial tablet. If, however, at the end of fifteen years from the time of its graduation, a class 
shall not have paid in full its share (namely $13,000) the Trustees may apply the amount actually paid 
by the said class to any object connected with the University which the class may select with the approval 
of the Board of Trustees; provided always that the Trustees are able to find a purchaser for the entry 
of the dormitory upon which full payment shall not have been paid by the said class. 

At a business meeting held by our Class at the Septennial Reunion in 1903, the 
Class Secretary was empowered to represent the Class of 'Ninety-Six on this Dormitory 
Committee. In 1905, additional subscriptions were promised to cover the period of 
five years ending 1911.

As explained by the following quotations from the Princeton Alumni Weekly, the 
building is to be named Patton Hall. 

NEW York, March 1st, 1906. 
Francis Landey Patton, D.D., LL.D., Princeton, New Jersey: 

Sir: The ten classes from 1892 to 1901, which have recently presented a dormitory to the 
University, have desired to give it a name intimately associated with the progress of Princeton, p i«*»-| 

We have, therefore, unanimously decided to call the building "Patton Hall," believing that in 
this way we shall also indicate the respect and admiration with which our classes regard you, under 
whose administration as President of Princeton University our undergraduate courses were spent. 

W. K. Prentice, 1892, J. H. Keener, 1897, 

H. G. Murray, 1893, Nathan S. Schroeder, 1898, 

W. F. Meredith, 1894, J. H. Harrison, 1899, 

Andrew C. Imbrie, 189.5, Frederick P. King, 1900, 

C. B. Bostwick, 1896, Walter E. Hope, 1901. 

SpringdalE, Princeton, N. J., 30th March, 1906. 

Gentlemen: I have the honor to be informed through your kind letter, which I shall always 
keep as a cherished possession, that my name has been given to the new dormitory which the graduates 
for whom you are acting have presented to the University. 

I thank you most sincerely for being made the recipient of an unusual compliment and I am 
especially grateful for the sentiment of personal regard which prompted your action. 

The new Hall is a worthy memorial of the classes concerned in its erection and will be a living wit- 
ness to their loyal devotion to their Alma Mater. 

I am exceedingly gratified to know that by means of this handsome building my name will be 
permanently associated with ten of the classes whose members spent their undergraduate days in Prince- 
ton University during the period of my administration of its affairs. 

I am, faithfully yours 

FRANCIS L. PATTON 

The inscription suggested by the committee is approved by the Trustees and will appear in the 
panel of the west wall of the four-story tower. 



The proposed group of buildings, of which Patton Hall, presented to Princeton 
by the Classes of 1892 to 1901, inclusive, is the first, consists of two lines of buildings four 
and six hundred feet in length respectively. In style, these dormitories will be of Tudor 
or Collegiate Gothic, and will be constructed of Germantown stone, similar to Blair and 
Little Halls, and the new Gymnasium. 

Patton Hall will provide accommodations for a few less than one hundred men. 
The grade of the building will be thirty-five feet above the lowest grade of the proposed 
group. Its extreme length is to be two hundred and eighty-four feet and its greatest depth 
eighty feet. Ten entries are to be constructed, and the general arrangement of the rooms 
will be suites of a study and two bedrooms. Ample and modern plumbing facilities 
will be provided. The height of the building varies from two to five stories. Every 
Class will have its doorway, properly distinguished, and will thus secure a tangible and 
visible demonstration of its generosity to the University. 

According to the plans now formulated for the future growth of the University, 
this group will form the western boundary of a large open campus, sloping in a southerly 
direction from Prospect. The eastern side of this campus will be bounded by other 
buildings on a line with Seventy-Nine Hall, and extending along Washington Road. 

The building will, it is expected, be ready for occupancy by the students at the 
opening of the College year, 1906-1907.

The following inscription, suggested by the Alumni Dormitory Committee, and 
approved by the Trustees, will be carved on a memorial tablet on the west wall of the

The following is a brief statement of the collections made for the '96 Fund, up to 
the time of going to press. 

Payments to Princeton University for credit of Class of '96. 

(I.) September 25th, 1905 $1,200.00 

(II.) October 19th, 1905 1,200.00 

(III.) November 18th, 1905 400.00 

(IV.) January 15th, 1906 1,500.00 

Total Payments $4,300.00 

Balance on hand for next payment to the 

University 212,67 

Total Collections $4,512.67 

We are allowed five years more to raise the thirteen thousand dollars required to 
complete the payment for our entry. The following is a general resume of the obliga- 
tions for unpaid subscriptions, and other sources for raising the entire sum : 

Unpaid Subscriptions of 1897-1900 $112.00 

Unpaid Subscriptions of 1901-1905 1,819.00 

Unpaid Subscriptions of 1906 695.00 

Payable in Single Instalments in 1906 1,468.00 

Total of Annual Subscriptions Payable in 1907-11, Inclusive 2,120.50 

Total Subscriptions Promised $6,214.50 

Estimated 3% Interest on Funds Paid to University, 1906- 7 129.00 

Estimated 3% Interest on Funds Paid to University, 1907- 8 150.00 

Estimated 3% Interest on Funds Paid to University, 1908- 9 210.00 

Estimated 3% Interest on Funds Paid to University, 1909-10 270.00 

Estimated 3% Interest on Funds Paid to University, 1910-11 300.00 

$7,273.50 
Total Already Collected 4,512.67 

Additional Subscriptions to be Secured 1,213.83 

Total Payable $13,000.00 

It has not been the policy of our Class Officers to push hard for subscriptions to 
this fund up to the present time. In years when we have had reunions, bills for the 
Memorial Fund subscriptions have been withheld, as it was not desired to burden the 
Class too constantly with requests for funds. As soon as the Decennial Reunion is 
over, the question will be taken up carefully by the Class Officers, so that there may be 
no doubt of our completing our subscription as soon as possible. The Class of '95 were 
able to raise their entire subscription of $13,000 bv the time of their Decennial Our 
smaller fund at this time is due rather to the policy of those who have had Class affairs 
in hand, than to any disposition on the part of the members not to be generous 
about subscription?. The other classes have raised varying amounts, exceeding or less 
than ours. 



169 



TO THE CLASS 

In submitting these personal statistics, your Secretary feels impelled to make 
a brief explanation of the methods of getting this information. I reproduce in condensed 
form the circulars which were used in securing what we wanted to know. These circular 
letters were sent out twice. In addition, I sent a special circular asking about the men 
who were slow in answering. They also received large postal cards, at semi-weekly in- 
tervals during February, March and April. About seventy-five registered letters were 
sent, and three or four hundred more letters for special information. About twenty 
men needed C. O. D. telegrams to stir them into replying. With the aid of some more 
telegrams, special messengers, telephones, and the assistance of some of our men, I finally 
succeeded in hearing from almost every one. Since 1896 I have heard at times from 
every graduate member of the class, and from almost all non-graduate members. 

CIRCULAR NUMBER ONE 
Information for the Decennial Record of the Class of 1896, Princeton University. 
Read this carefully. This is a comprehensive blank. Only a few of the questions can apply 
to any one man. But I thought it best to include all points to be covered. You will understand, 
therefore, why this is so long. If not too much trouble, fill this out on the typewriter. Don't complain 
on account of the size of this paper. Isn't it easier to answer these questions than to write a formal 
letter for publication? 

1. Full name. 2. Date. 3. Permanent address. 4. Residence. 5. Business address. 6. 
Temporary address (if any). 7. Married (date, place, and wife's maiden name). 8. Children (names 
and dates of birth). 9 (a). How many times have you revisited Princeton since graduation? 9 (&). 
What football games with Yale have you attended? 9 (c). What baseball games with Yale and Harvard 
have you attended? 9 (d). In what years have you visited Princeton during Commencement week? 
9 (e). What Princeton men (especially '96 men) do you see most frequently? 10 (o). What '96 reunions 
have you attended? (Regular— 1896-1897-1899-1901-1903). (Special— in Princeton, New York, 
Philadelphia, etc.). 10 (b). Are you a subscriber to the Princeton Alumni Weekly? Do you read it 
regularly, if not a subscriber? 10 (c). To what local Princeton Club or Alumni Association do you 
belong? 11. Professional or honorary degrees received since graduation. 12. Literary work since 
graduation. Give full details with date of publication and name of magazine, paper, etc. 13. Lectures 
and speeches. When, where and occasions. 14. Membership in clubs, societies, fraternities, etc. 
Give full names. 15. Travels. Give details on fourth page. 16. Politics. Have you held office or 
been a candidate? Give full details. 17. Military service. (1) United States Army. (2) United 
States Navy. (3) State Militia. (4) Spanish War. 18. Athletics. Career in athletics after leaving 
Princeton. Give full details about coaching any college or club teams. 19. Occupation. Give full 
details, (a) If in business, give its nature, name of firm or corporation and address; state how long 
with this firm, etc. ; state if member of firm, or officer of the corporation, (b) If teaching, give full name 
and address of school or college, etc., size of school, etc. (c) If a clergyman, give full name of church 
and denomination, details as to duties, size of congregation, size of town, etc., etc. {d) If a missionary, 
give station, name of church and denomination, size of district covered, languages spoken, work accom- 
plished, etc., etc. (e) If an engineer, give nature of work, record of past work, and whether engaged 
in mining or civil engineering, with full details. (/) If a physician, state whether in private or hospital 
practice, whether in medicine or surgery, and whether any specialty is followed, (g) If a lawyer, state 
special line of practice, and territory covered; indicate whether court or office work, etc. {h) If your 
occupation does not come under any of the foregoing heads, give similar details here. 20. All previous 
occupations since leaving College. 21. Unfortunately, some graduates and some members of the 
Class who did not graduate, have not availed themselves of the Class Secretary's repeated invitations 
to supply information. The Class Secretary earnestly requests as full statistical information about 
them. 22. The Decennial Reunion Committee has decided to send one copy of the Decennial Record 
free to each member of the Class (except for C.O.D. express charges). To members living abroad, a 
Record will be sent with postage prepaid. Extra copies will be sent to those desiring them, at the 
price of $1.00 each. 

170 



CIRCULAR NUMBER TWO 

January 22d, 1906. About a month ago, I sent you a sheet to be filled out, with information 
for the Decennial Record. Will you be kind enough to add to the questions on that blank the following 
in reference to the work that you have done in advancing Princeton's interests? 1. What men among 
later classes have you influenced in choosing Princeton as their College? 2. To what funds are you or 
have you been a subscriber? Omit amounts. 3. Have you any present connection with undergraduate 
interests and affairs? If so, please give details. 4. In a general way, what work have you done for 
Princeton since the time of your graduation? 5. Have you held any fellowship from Princeton or any 
other college? 6. If you are an "ex-member," please give the year and month of your leaving Prince- 
ton. 7. (Blank). 8. What other college did you attend before entering Princeton? Please send in 
your blank as soon as possible. 

CIRCULAR NUMBER THREE 

To the former members of the Class of '96 : I am sending you with this note a long blank to be 
filled out. I want to try to make you understand why I am asking you for this information. Do not 
believe even for a moment that this request is prompted by idle curiosity, or that it is the forerunner 
of later appeals for funds for Princeton purposes, or anything of that sort. 

I am gathering the material for the publication of the Decennial Record of the Class of '96, and 
I hope to include in the book as much as possible of the personal history of each man in the Class. Of 
course, many of the men who left our Class early in its College career cannot, under the circumstances, 
feel any very close affiliation with Princeton or with the Class of '96. Nevertheless, I know that the 
men who remained with the Class all through will be interested in knowing something about their 
friends who did not complete the course with '96. I can see no reason why any former member should 
hesitate to fill out this circular, even if he went to another college later and was graduated there. As 
historian of the Class, I shall feel that it is my office to record such information as I have on file, or as 
I may secure from other members of the Class this year. I am making this direct appeal to you in the 
hope that you will prefer to give me accurate information from the authentic source, instead of having 
me get it the other way. 

As you know, I have been very persistent in continuing to send to all of the former members 
of the Class the different letters touching on Class matters. If my persistence has oft'ended any one, 
I am sorry. I know, however, that in some cases it has brought good results, and that I have finally 
been able to persuade some former members to renew their allegiance to the Class, and have been warmly 
thanked by them for so doing. ' I shall continue to carry your names on my Class Record, and it is 
probable that from time to time you will receive such Class literature as is of general interest, especially 
requests for information like that contained in this letter, which will be called for every year or so. 

I hope that I have made my purpose clear to you, and that you will co-operate with me in the 
preparation of a very complete Class Record. 

CIRCULAR NUMBER FOUR 

Dear ( ) : When you recently answered my request for information for the Decennial 

Record, you answered Question No without giving the full details that I would like to have 

for the book. If you have no objections, would you mind filling them in on the enclosed postal card 
mailing it to me at your early convenience? 

The additional information which I want to get and which you did not give me fully, is the 
following 

CIRCULAR NUMBER FIVE 

Spring, 1906. You spent four good years at Princeton. What have you done since 1896? Write 
and tell me all about it. See my previous letters. Send me your blank for the Decennial Record and 
please answer in full all questions which apply to you. 

In addition to what I have learned from the answers to these circulars, I have 
used the miscellaneous information contained in my General Class Record and in our 
First Record and Trienial Record, miscellaneous items of information from newspapers 
and The Princeton Alumni Weekly, and such other facts as I could gather from my 
collection of letters from our men in the last ten years. A few items of general informa- 
tion which are given on the succeeding pages, are not included in the other part of the 
book. This part was printed last and was held open as long as possible, awaiting the 
arrival of information from delinquent correspondents. Some answers arrived after 
the front pages of the book had been printed. 

171 



The results of this work have been very gratifying. They prove to me that a 
Record of this sort is what the class wants at the time of the Decennial. I believe that 
a collection of letters is more suitable for a Triennial Record, even if they do omit so many 
facts. Three years after graduation a class has hardly made its start in life, and there 
is not very much worth telling. I am sure the class agrees with me. Look at the figures. 
One hundred and twenty-live men, many of them our most loyal members, did not send 
any letters or information for our Triennial Record. 

This year it is very different. I have failed to hear from very few. From four 
men who are abroad, I have not heard direct, though I have accurate information about 
them all. For two of these, their families here have replied. Unfortunately, the en- 
velopes in which the first circular was enclosed, proved to be of inferior quality. Many 
were found badly torn upon arrival at their destination. On this account it is possible 
that some of the foreign letters, which had much longer journeys to make, did not reach 
our men. In any event, most of them are so far away that it takes from two to six months 
to get their answers, which may come after this book is printed. That happened when 
I published the Triennial Record. 

Fifteen men who were with the class for periods ranging from two months to 
two years, have likewise not answered ; but of these there are only seven whose present 
occupations I do not know, and only two from whom I have never heard and about 
whom I have not been able to secure any information, since 1896, direct or indirect. 
In most classes, these lukewarm non-graduate members are not carried on the rolls at 
all; but I have always included them, to our great satisfaction, even though many of 
them are almost unknown to the class at large. Persistence has led sixteen others of 
them back into the fold of Princeton Enthusiasm. 

Arid, best of all, I have information this year from every single man in the class who 
took his degree with us, or who completed the four-year course. From all but four of them, 
the information has come direct ; the other four, because of serious illness, or for other 
good reasons, did not write to me, but I secured the full information from their families 
or friends. We must not forget that '96 is almost the largest Princeton class, larger than 
many succeeding classes, and exceeded only by one or two classes since 1900. 

Numerous inaccuracies must almost inevitably have crept into this mass of sta- 
tistics. For those which may be the result of any carelessness in transcribing, I apologize. 
When a book of this kind is prepared on holidays and after the strenuous hours of a 
business day, it is only too easy to have an occasional slip. The hardest part about the 
work is that it has been necessary to draw so many inferences based upon incomplete 
data. When a man makes two answers to class letters in succeeding years, and in those 
two answers gives diflferent dates for his marriage and the birth of his eldest son, it is 
easy to understand that other minor matters may be inaccurately recorded. I have 
done the best I could without making myself too much of a nuisance to the rest of the 
class. Please accept the result as it is, with charity for its shortcomings, and remember 
that the compilation has meant the sacrifice of many hours of rest and leisure.

CLASSIFIED OCCUPATIONS 

When compiling this record, I prepared a detailed list of classified occupations, 
rearranging under proper headings the information elsewhere given in the book under 
each man's name. I intended to print this classification to benefit members of the 
Class who might desire special information or assistance in certain localities or in certain 
lines of business. I found that it would take too mtich space in the book and would 
add too much to its cost. 

The material was sent to the Princeton Alumni Weekly. It was printed during 
the spring months of 1906. 

In the usual style of Class Records, a summary of this classification follows. It 
will be noticed that the sum of the men engaged in the different occupations far exceeds 
the number of men in the Class ; for the reason that when a man has followed more than 
one calling his name is included under each heading.

LETTERS FROM ASIA 

After the first hundred pages of the book had been printed, the mail from the 
Pacific brought letters from Lampe, Gordon Johnston, Mather, Park and Righter. 
A series of letters from Lampe give various information about him which I re- 
produce by making extracts. In reading this, remember that these are extracts, and 
that it is not a continuous letter. This will account for the illogical arrangement of the 
subject matter. 

"I have made occasional contributions to the Japan Evangelist, of Tokio. An article in November, 
1904, issue, entitled "Building in Japan," attracted considerable attention. 

"In July, 1905, Kamizowa, Japan, I read a theological paper before the Council of Missions. 

"I am a missionary of the Reformed Church in the United States (sometimes called the German 
Reformed). I am located at Sendai, the center of our field, which includes about three million people, 
and is two hundred and fifty miles long and one hundred miles wide. I speak Japanese, and can preach 
and make addresses without manuscript. I am Chairman of the Foreign Committee of Relief for the Fam- 
ine in the North. This committee is composed of one French and five American missionaries and an English 
professor in the Government College here. To get a common language, we conduct our meetings in 
Japanese. Two of the Committee have been here for more than twenty-five years. I am the next to 
youngest member of the Committee. We have about sixty foreign residents here in Sendai. I am 
Chairman of the community, getting my share of the work and the honors. As a result of the work 
our .Committee has done, the nations of the earth are showing sympathy to Japan in a wonderful way. 
I work day and night, sometimes until 4 a.m. It is now 1 a.m. This is the opportunity of a lifetime. 
Do missions pay? I am willing to let anyone judge from the work of this Committee alone. See the 
Christian Herald, of New York, Jor 1906, and you will see what our Committee has accomplished. I 
furnished the Japanese Consul-General with some printed matter, went to see him, and wrote him several 
letters. He put these into Chinese and sent them to the Empress Dowager, who gave $75,000. Up to 
date, America has subscribed 1130,000, England $60,000, and Canada $40,000; other nations smaller 
amounts. 

"I wish 1 had lime to write you a decent letter for publication. My experience as a builder, my 
relation with young men — especially college students — the thirteen policemen I baptized, my relation 
to officials, the present famine relief work, would all, I think, be quite interesting if properly written up, 
but I cannot do it now (1.30 a.m.) nor at any time before summer. Forgive me this time. This sum- 
mer, or early next fall, give me the tip and I will try to do better. 

"A few marginal notes on the last paragraph would be that in 1903-04 I built for Mujagi Girls' 
School the finest school-building for women in the Empire. I also helped superintend the new buildings 
for North Japan College, the finest educational establishment in the North. We invite to Sendai all 
prominent visitors to Japan and get quite a few. Last fall we invited Bryan, but he was too busy. Only 
last month we had John G. Woolley, candidate for President in 1900. He was my guest. The mayor 
and governor invited Mr. and Mrs. Woolley and my wife and myself to a banquet. There is no city 
of Tapan where the foreigner and Japanese enjoy so cordial relations as right here in Sendai. In these 
seven years I have baptized about a dozen college students, one of whom is a brilliant orator. 

"Please send me copies of all circulars, etc., you send the Class. I don't want to let my love for 
Princeton grow cold. I have in training a candidate for Princeton '24 and one for '26. 

"With very best wishes to every fellow in the Class and a thousand good wishes to you, I remain, 

"Cordially yours, 

"LAMPE". 

"Sendai is the military center of the North. The Second Division has its headquarters here. 
This means 18,000 soldiers in Sendai. We had 2,000 Russian prisoners, among them the Governor- 
General of Saghalin and many officers captured during the battle of the Japan Sea. I became fairly 
well acquainted with several of the latter." 

176 



Gordon's letter (written about three weeks before the battle of Mount Dajo) reads 
as follows : 

"What can I say to my friends of '96 to account for myself during these short ten years? I feel 
that my miserable conduct toward Charlie Bostwick, who has stood for a faithful medium of keeping 
in touch with them, would prove me almost a deserter from the ranks. But most solemnly will I swear 
that this is not true. I hope you will judge me somewhat by what you know of me. If there was any 
fellow among us in those few years who loved the Class any better, I'm glad to know it. That has 
always been with me. But maj'be there are many who have been bearing heavier burdens than there was 
need for those about us to know of. There may be others who for that first bewildering year or so struggled 
desperately with the great problem of 'what to do' and 'what do I want at the end of the doing?' 
Time slid by so fast and some seemed rising so quickly that the spur was continually driven into an al- 
ready sensitive flank. The obvious personal cost was absolutely undesired. There was no spark of 
genius on hand nor any decided bent for one thing or another. Chance and a love of adventure started me 
in the Army and so I've been a soldier since the spring of 1898. I've seen a good bit of the world and 
some very active service. Joe Righter and I were room-mates at the General Service and Staff College 
at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., where we spent a most miserable year of grinding. I saw him once before out 
in Luzon when his outpost held me up one dark night and Joe dug up a bottle of warm beer. He's 
over here now not far from me in the Moro land. 

"It has been my honor to have had the commendation of some of the highest in our Government. 
I have been thrown with some of the finest specimens of pure 'man' that ever lived. This is what 
more than anything has kept me in this line, that the best development in this life (the service) is better 
than any other within my reach. They are clean, clear-cut men, keen in sport, simple in their lives, 
ambitious, independent, self-respecting, who ask no odds of any man, but 'do their work and hold 
their peace and have no fear to die.' That isn't the newspaper version, I know, but they live just 
the same and touch many lives, and they leave the world a bit better perhaps for their having lived. 
Beyond a fleeting glimpse or a few moments' conversation, there has been little coming my way in the 
shape of '96 men. Barney Haines I have visited and found moving steadily along and upward, as I 
always knew that he would. Pete Pierce, after some ups and downs, found the square hole for a square 
man and is way up in the Semet Solvay Co. Bob Patton is at hand for you to handle. He rarely writes 
and I'm about as bad. 

"GORDON JOHNSTON." 

On the last day of April, after a large part of the book had been printed, the Class 
Secretary secured a clipping from a paper at Williamsport, Pa., which tells that Righter, 
as well as Johnston, was concerned in the fight at Mount Dajo. This article reads as 
follows : 

LIEUT. JOSEPH C. RIGHTER, JR., IN DESPERATE BATTLE 



THE WILLI.MWSPORTER COMMANDED TROOP F IN THE FINAL ASSAULT UPON THE MORO STRONGHOLD LAST 

MONTH — HE WAS IN THE ADVANCE OVER THE WEST TRAIL WITH HIS CAVALRY 

THE NEWS HAS JUST REACHED WILLIAMSPORT FROM THE 
PHILIPPINES. 



A\'ord has just reached Williamsport that First Lieut. Joseph C. Righter, Jr., of this city, who is 
in the Philippines with his command, participated with his troop in the desperate fighting which took 
place during the capture of Mt. Dajo, on the Island of Jolo, last month. 

CUT WAY TO THE TOP 

Lieutenant Righter, who is Adjutant of his squadton, was assigned to Troop F, which was one of 
the two troops which formed the column which advanced over the west trail to the attack. There were 
but three trails leading to the top of Mt. Dajo, and as the Moros had the range and direction of these 
the troops cut their way to the top, making new trails for themselves 

177 



COMMANDER WAS SHOT 

When reaching the top the commander of the column was shot and the commander of Troop G 
assumed command of the column, placing Lieutenant Righter in command of his troop, which was in 
the advance. 

During the remaining days of the fighting Lieutenant Righter was in command of the firing line 
and led his troop in the final assault. 

FOUR AWFUI, DAYS 

For four days the troops never had an opportunity to even remove their clothing. They had to 
scale a mountain on almost perpendicular trails, had little but the crackers in their haversacks to eat, 
and only had such water as the native bearers carried up the trails to them at night. 

The fighting was desperate, for the fanatical Moros did not fear death and, chanting prayers and 
with pieces of the Koran tied on their heads, they made bolo rushes on the troops or poured a deadly 
hail of bullets into them. 

Paotingfu, North China, March 27, 1906- 
Dear Classmates: 

Bostwick tells me that we in the far country, who are not to have the privilege of meeting 
the rest of you at the Decennial, must give an account of ourselves by letter; so, though I should like 
nothing better than meeting you all again under the old elms, I must be content with a one-sided talk 
at this distance. 

As I reported in the Triennial Record, I spent the three years after leaving college at the 
Hartford Theological Seminary. The year following the Triennial I also spent in Hartford , taking 
post-graduate work, and then in company with John Trout started for Deutschland, where we soon found 
ourselves, in company with several other Princeton fellows, in a school for the study of German in 
picturesque Marburg on the Lahn. After six weeks there and a glorious four weeks' wheeling tour 
through the Black Forest and Switzerland, during which we climbed the "Eiger" and several lower 
peaks, I spent two weeks in Giessen and then set out for Edinburgh. Here I specialized in philosophy 
at the University, also taking a course in Hebrew under "Rabbi" Davidson at the New -College. For 
two months while there I saw the sun only about three times, but the people that I met made up for 
the defects in the weather, and I had a delightful winter there. When spring came, I rejoined John 
Trout at Halle on the Saale, entered the University, joined a " Verein," was arrested and fined for riding 
my wheel without a license, and had a number of other thoroughly German experiences. But the 
most pleasant memories of those days come from the friends I made among the students, warm-hearted 
fellows whose kindness I shall not soon forget. 

Lybyer had stayed two weeks with us in Marburg on his way out to Constantinople and he 
also visited us again on his way home the next summer. Soon after he left, I started for America 
likewise, making a bee line for Brazil, Indiana, where I arrived just in time to stand by him while the 
nuptial knot was tied. The following year was spent as acting librarian of the Case Memorial Library 
at Hartford, and in the fall of 1902 I started for China under the Presbyterian Board, being assigned 
to this city, which is the capital of the province of Chlihi. As some of you know, it was here that 
Dr. G. Y. Taylor, Princeton '84, and Dr. C. V. R. Hodge, '93, with all the other members of the station 
who were here, fell before the fury of the Boxers in 1900. It is here also that Dr. J. Walter Lowrie, '76, 
who is one of the finest missionaries in North China and who received by Imperial decree the honorary 
rank of an official of the fourth grade for his services to this city during the foreign occupation, has 
been working for more than ten years, and I have esteemed it one of my greatest privileges out here 
to have had his help and guidance from the start. 

In the Triennial Record Bostwick took me to task for not mentioning a prize received at 
Hartford, but the fact of the matter is that the only prize obtained there about which I feel like 
boasting was in the person of Miss Grace Burroughs, who consented to be my wife shortly before I left 
for China. After enduring it for nearly two years out here, I went home for her in 1904 and we were 
married on the thirtieth of August. A little more than a month later we were on our way to China, 
and have been here in Paotingfu ever since. 

178 



As for experiences of work out here, I have been occupied principally with language study and 
have been here a so much shorter time than Jimmy Cochran or Buck Waters or Charlie Patten that I 
don't feel that I can say much that would be illuminating. It is probably true, however, that we in the 
north see more evidence of the change going on in China now than those in any other part of the empire. 
And it is a marvelous change. Men who have been in China longer, like Dr. Lowrie, and who know 
the innate conservatism of the Chinese from long experience, are even more astonished than the new 
comers. Schools, colleges, and universities established in the various provinces, where foreign branches 
and foreign languages are taught, government examination for civil appointments to be based here- 
after upon these foreign branches as well as upon the classics, schools for girls being established in 
Tientsin, Peking, and Paotingfu, where not only foreign branches are taught, but also such advanced 
subjects as using the sewing machine and making cigarettes, girls of high families walking through the 
streets of Peking to school, Chinese ladies holding meetings for the discussion of public topics, and a 
daily paper for women being published in Peking, perhaps the only women's daily in the world, the army 
equipped with the latest arms and drilled according to the latest German and Japanese methods, the 
soldiers' queues having gone into hiding beneath an ample cap; these and countless changes like them 
proclaim the fact that there is a new China, and I feel it a wonderful privilege to be here at this time 
and have a hand in moulding the China that is to be. 

I would give a good deal to see you all down at old Princeton this Decennial time, but must 
be satisfied to send my best wishes to every one in the class. 

Yours for '96, 

WM. A. MATHER. 

S. S. "Tennyson," April 15th, 1906. 
My Dear Bostwick: 

Mrs. Chamberlain and I, with our three-year old boy, Annesley, are on the ocean five days out 
from New York, one-third of the distance to Bahia, Brazil, where we will disembark to renew our work 
after a year's absence. We had six months of furlough and were about to sail for Brazil when I had 
an attack of appendicitis. The consequent operation and period of convalescence, somewhat retarded 
by slighter operations of an entirely different character, delayed us some five months beyond our 
furlough. 

We return to Villa Nova da Rainha, a town of ten thousand inhabitants, situated amongst 
the hills on a narrow gauge railway two hundred and eighty miles from the city of Bahia, which is our 
port. We have trains every other day, mail twice a week, and one of them is an express which takes 
two days to make the run of less than three hundred miles. It is a decidedly isolated life. Moral, 
social and religious standards, habits and ways of thinking, are so different, even if there were much 
social life among the people themselves, and we are fortunate, indeed, if we are able to entertain an 
English-speaking person once in six months or a year. But then that is not as bad as Spriggs' life at 
Point Barrow. 

My parish is a hundred miles broad along the railway, north and south, and three hundred 
miles long, east and west. Three times a year I cover from four to five hundred miles on mule-back, 
stopping anywhere from a day to a week at ten or twelve points where the work is especially progressive. 
Each trip takes from one to two months. During the other periods I travel up and down the railroad, 
or visit the different groups of believers nearer by, at distances of ten to twenty miles. 

In our field there are fifty communicant believers to-day and fifty more who are preparing to 
make their profession of faith. As one goes about from group to group the question, "Does it pay?' 
is conclusively answered by the complete transformation in the lives of many men. For you must know 
that these men were brought up amid the most deadening influences of a fearfully corrupt religion, 
that goes by the name of Christianity, a large portion of whose clergy gamble, drink to excess and 
lead openly immoral lives. 

179 



I hope this is not altogether too late for the "Record." Wishing you and all the good class 
mates who are able to attend the reunion a royal good time, I remain , 

Most sincerely yours, 

PIERCE CHAMBERLAIN. 



Nan, Siam, via Burma and Raheng, March 10, 1906. 
My Dear Bostwick: 

Yours of November 6, 1905, reached me while on a three months and a half trip. We reached 
home last Tuesday and this will go by the first mail since our return. 

It has been almost seven years since we left the United States for Siam, although during this 
time we have spent one year at home on furlough. We have been here long enough, I think, to realize 
in some measure how different the East is from the West, and to realize what a big proposition we have 
before us in trying to understand this people enough to help them solve their problems. It is easy 
enough for us at Anglo-Saxons to say "Everything we have is good, and everything you have is bad," 
and to try to impresss our American civilization upon them. This principle works beautifully in theory, 
and they will all admit the foregoing statement — and any other statement you may choose to make, for 
that matter — but it is like trying to patch a worn-out garment with a new piece of cloth : the rent is only 
made larger when the new piece is torn out — which it is sure to be. 

Siam has approximately eight million people, divided about equally between the "Lao" (ao 
has the sound of ow) of the north, and their cousins the more strictly Siamese of the south. The King, 
although thoroughly Siamese, was educated in England, and is heartily in sympathy with any work 
which upbuilds the people. In a recent trip to the north, the Crown Prince, also educated in England, 
was exceedingly gracious to the missionaries, and went so far as to name the boys' school in Chieng 
Mai for himself, after he had himself laid the cornerstone of one of the new buildings. The Govern- 
ment is taking a great interest in having the curse of smallpox stamped out by widespread vaccination ; 
and recently measures have been taken to stop an epidemic among cattle. On the whole the Central 
Government is working toward the upbuilding of the country — not perhaps as some of us might do it 
if we had a free hand — but not the less surely and steadily. We are in the midst of a transition stage 
from the old extremely primitive feudal system to the beginning of a twentieth century civilization. 
If there are abuses on the part of petty officials^in taking advantage of both their former prerogatives, 
and those granted them under the new regime, it is but to be expected ; and we are glad to be able to 
state that during the past three years very many of these have been corrected. 

The Laos or Lao people of the north differ quite materially from their southern cousins. They 
are very quiet and respectful and always ready to follow the lines of least resistance. In close accord 
with these traits is an adeptness at deceit which can hardly be conceived by an ! Occidental. Sincerity 
is so far removed from their normal mode of life and thought, that they hardly realize they are not 
telling the truth when they tell you what they think you wish them to say. They are far removed 
from anything savage or fanatical, which makes residence or travel in this country safer even than it 
is at home. The greatest drawback to any progress among them is their dense ignorance and their 
adherence to ' ' custom " which is bound to them the tighter by their spirit worship. For instance : Each 
family, each village and each clan has its own guardian spirit. If, therefore, one person offends any one of 
these spirits, the spirit is angry at this whole family, village or clan, as the case may be, and must be ap- 
peased by offerings of flowers, rice, a chicken, a pig, or some larger animal according to the enormity 
of the crime. If the offering is not forthcoming some one is sure to get sick or die. Hence the origin of 
sickness, and the mode of treatment. If they think the sickness is caused by an evil spirit of another 
family they whip the sick person to make him tell whose spirit is troubling him, and when they find 
out they persecute the offending family and usually run them out of the community. If the sickness 
is not very great, they make offerings to appease the spirits. They use medicines also to some extent, 
some of which are very good, but many of them are in the nature of charms and are absolutely foolish 

180 



The religion of the country is supposed to be Buddhism, but however high an ethical code 
Buddhism sets forth, it is utterly unable to meet the needs of its adherents here. I have been unable 
to find one person in a hundred who even tries to live up to the teachings of Buddha. Even the 
"Buddhist monks" have their spirit shrines, and the common people universally kill animals — contrary 
to the first and great commandment of Buddha, and offer them to spirits, also contrary to Buddha's 
teachings. They confess that doing so will bar them out of heaven, but they are afraid not do to it. 
Even their making merit is in the nature of freeing their forefathers and relatives from purgatory — 
they express it: "That.they may have something to eat, and not bother them in their dreams." Judging 
by their actions and conversation, their standards of morality are little better than those of animals. 
Yet there is a great deal that is good in them. Taking into consideration their dense ignorance and all 
of the surroundings, the Christian Church here compares very favorably with that at home. The 
people try earnestly — the majority of them at least — to live up to Christian standards, and it is not 
difficult to see the result even in their faces. 

Siam is without doubt many centuries behind our western civilization, and it will take several 
generations before she can catch up; but judging by the progress which we have seen during the past 
seven years, it is not unreasonable to hope that we may ourselves see the beginning of the end of that 
transformation. 

Sincerely yours, 

DAVID PARK. 

Salisbury, Rhodesia, April 15th, 1901. 
My dear Bostwick: — 

While at the Primrose Mine, some 120 miles west of Salisbury, I received from you a set of blanks 
to be filled out. I filled out the blanks and wrote you a letter expecting to mail same on my return 
to Salisbury. Although I arrived in Salisbury about the middle of January, my kit, and with it the 
letter, has not turned up, the wagons having been delayed on account of heavy rains and flooded rivers. 
However, the rainy season is now over and I am expecting the wagons to arrive at any time. This is 
only one of the many unavoidable inconveniences of this country. Should I attempt to relate some of 
the pests and drawbacks of this country, such as fever, horse sickness, cattle diseases, tsetse fly, the locust, 
the white ants, etc., to say nothing of wild animals, the natives and the rotten government of the chartered 
company, you will wonder what keeps me here. While we have more than our share of pests and 
hardships, we are in a new country, money is plentiful, little competition and many openings not to be 
met with in older countries. 

During the past two years I have been with the leading consulting engineer of Rhodesia, and 
he is engineer for half a dozen of the leading mining companies of Mashonaland. My work has been 
chiefly mining engineering, and I have seen most of the mines and been through the greater portion of 
this section of South Africa. Most of the mines up here are yet in the early stages of development. I 
think there is plenty of gold here, but the existing government and mining laws are bad, and labor for 
working the mines is difficult to secure. However, we are looking for improvements in due time. 

I am getting a little tired of veldt life and have put in an application for the position of Town 
Engineer to be filled in July. They are going to put in a system of water works, electric lights and 
many town improvements, so I will not be idle if I secure the appointment. The position demands 
.$5,000 per year, so I hope to get it. I will let you know how I come out. 

Your letter of February 14th, telling me of the coming Quinquennial Reunion, reached me a few 
days ago. How I should enjoy being with my old classmates again. 

You asked me to write a few lines to be read before the class at the Reunion Banquet. I will 
write nothing special, but should you find anything in this letter that you think may be of interest to 
any of my old calssmates, I will deem it an honor to be remembered by extracts. 

181 



You have all read much of late concerning South Africa, especially in connection with the Boer 
War. But what have you heard about us poor unfortunates who are attempting to eke out an existence 
in Rhodesia ? We have seen no fighting up here and we have heard little about the fighting down below , 
yet indirectly we have strong evidence that something is radically wrong in South Africa. However 
we have been going steadily forward. Many new buildings have been erected in Salisbury and many 
of the mines have been steadily developed. So much for Rhodesia, but I can hear some one asking what 
has old Brownie been doing? Well, I have not made a fortune, nor do I see a fortune near at hand, 
yet I have been busy most of the time and have been well paid for my time. I have seen lots of wild 
country, and have had my share of sport in the way of shooting large game. There is any amount of 
large game fifty or one hundred miles from Salisbury. 

It may be of interest to you to know how we travel in going out to mining camps. As yet, we 
have no railroads leading to the mines, and the wagon roads are something dreadful at the best, and 
during the rainy months are simply impassable. All transport of machinery, etc., to the mines is done 
by transport riders in large wagons drawn by from sixteen to thirty-two oxen. I usually go to a mine 
in a Cape Cart drawn by six mules. Sometimes I am fortunate enough to travel in an American Spider 
drawn by eight or ten mules, while at other times I am forced to go on horse-back, or even walk where 
there is no road leading to the mine. 

Have I ever killed a lion, did some one ask? Well, yes, I was fortunate enough to kill one last 
November. I had some machinery going out to the Primrose Mine for the French South African Dev. 
Co. One night the driver outspanned on the Umfuli River some sixty miles from Salisbury, and allowed 
the oxen to graze. During the night some lions got among the cattle and killed two large bullocks and 
nearly killed a third. Of course, the remainder of the thirty-two bullocks cleared in all directions and 
were not found for days. On the following afternoon I overtook the wagons and one of the drivers told 
me of the accident and took me over to where the dead bullocks lay. When we were within one hundred 
and fifty yards of the carcasses, the driver pointed toward a brownish object and cleared back to the 
wagons. It took me several minutes to realize the true surroundings. There sat a large lion on his 
haunches, back toward me, and slowly smoothing down his coat with his tongue. I looked about for 
a tree, but saw none within a couple of hundred yards. I decided to chance it in the open and lodged 
a bullet in his back, fracturing his spine. This was a most lucky shot, for he turned and frantically 
endeavored to come for me, but he was as on a pivot. A few more shots put an end to his fruitless efforts, 
though I must confess that my nerves were quite unstrung after the first shot. I have seen, at various 
times, a number of other lions, but have never succeeded in getting a shot at them; as they usually sneak 
oft' into the bush, quite contrary to tradition. 

I am beginning to feel a great longing for American soil, and especially to meet with my old class- 
mates and college friends at a reunion. 

I met Geo. Lyon when I was in Cape Town, in '99, and we had several pleasant talks over old 
times. I also met Clinton Wood, '92, in Cape Town, and I hear that his brother. Wood, '97, is soon to 
settle in the Colony. I should like to see a few Princeton men in Rhodesia. I have met a number of 
Columbia School of Mines men out here, and even a talk with them is a great blessing. 

With kindest remembrances to all my old classmates, and with a locomotive cheer for old Prince- 
ton, and a good long cheer for the Class of '96j I am, as ever, most sincerely. 

Your classmate and friend, 

A. H. BROWN

LET'S GO BACK TO BORNEO. 

Let's go down the Sulu Sea — 

I am tired of old Canton, 
Shanghai's had enough of me, 

Nothing good in French Saigon, 
Macao of the Portugee, 

All this China side's too slow — 
Let's go sail the Sulu Sea — 

Let's go back to Borneo! 

On the bund at Singapore 

Chinks and vSikhs stroll up and down — 
Yellow rajas from Lahore, 

Half-baked kings to see the town. 
By this crowd I set no store, 

All this feeble ]\talay show — 
Say, lets sail from Singapore — 

Let's go back to Borneo! 

No place duller than Penan g — 

Twice I had the fever there. 
Gad ! the sleepy isle can hang. 

White and brown, for what I care. 
Dyak and ourang-outang. 

Where they are I want to go — 
Sink or swim, leave dull Penang — 

Let's go back to Borneo! 

I can see the place in dreams 

When the moon shines on the bay — 
Liquid fire the water gleams, 

Phosphorescent flames at play. 
Why, but yesterday it seems 

That we watched the turtles glow 
Like gold patches — in my dreams — 

Let's go back to Borneo! 

Don't you mind the honey-bear 

Little Mina used to drill? 
The parrot that we taught to swear, 

In the hut on Laudak hill? 
Mina, too — I wonder where 

Now she keeps her bungalow — 
Has she still the honey-bear? 

Let's go back to Borneo ! 

Let's go down the Sulu Sea — 

Yes, it's good in old Japan — 
Good enough for some — not me — • 

I've an older better plan. 
Comes the northeast monsoon free, 

Island ward I'm bound to go — 
Let's go sail the Sulu Sea — ■ 

Let's go back to Borneo !

"Dear 'Bos:' 

"This will have to take the form of a personal letter to you, and if I mention anything of interest, 
you will kindly separate the wheat from the chaff. I have been so far removed from civilization for the 
past few years that I feel rather on the outside of everything. No '96 or other Princeton men ever cross my 
path, or I theirs, and it's a sure sign of a blue day whenever my thoughts wander back to the good old times 
we had together. Once in awhile I am favored with a marriage announcement, and that always reaches 
me many days after the happy event. This is about all the information I have of what the boys I used 
to know are doing. As for myself, I have had the usual ups and downs, but on the whole can't kick. 
This section of Jllexico is very beautiful, but remote from everything except insects. Have lived for 
days and days on beans and hope, the former almost destroying the latter. Just now everything 
looks bright and promising. Made a very nice strike here four months ago, and the tide is rising steadily. 
My only regret to-night is that I am so far from the boys and will not be able to get back for Reunion. 
However, something may turn up. It's a long, hard road from here to Princeton, but I think I would 
appreciate it more than most the fellows that will be there. I wish you all the success you deserve in 
the coming reunion, and I know it will be a success with you and Billy Reed at work. Remember 
me to all the boys, and remember that I shall be thinking of you every second of the time that you 
are in good old Princeton. Drink a glass for me, 'Bos,' and wish me luck, as I wish you in all your 
efforts. "Ever yours, 

"HARRY H. CROSS."

GEORGE GOODWIN DEWEY 



DEWEY, JR., A CHICAGOAN. 

lu Business niiil Doesn't Want to Pose 
as " Sou of His Father." 

Special lo The New York Times. 

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.— George Dewey, Jr 
the son of the hero of Manila, has become 
a permanent resident of Chicago. Young 
Dewey's announcement of his determination 
to become a Chicagoan has spread joy 
throughout social circles, and he Is now the 
lion of the hour. 

Although only twenty-three years old, the 
young man holds the responsible position 
as Western representative for a New York 
firm of dry goods commission merchants. 
His home is at the Lakota Hotel. 

Since his arrtvai in Chicago the Admiral's 
son, who is of a retiring disposition, has 
avoided notoriety as much as possible, al- 
mosrall of his time having been devoted to 
his business. One of the few social gather- 
ings he has consented to attend will be a 
card party to be given at the home of Ko- 
land P Marks. 

" Please don't write any stories about me; 
write 'ern about father," pleaded Dewey, 
Jr., when seen by a reporter this afternoon 

"Don't you see, I'lA -in Chicago on my 
own hook? I'm not Admiral Dewey's son to 
my trade. Nothing more or less than plain 
G. Q Dewey. If they find out who I am 
think of what will happen. There will be a 
lot of people down to this office, and I don't 
care to be handicapped by the fact that I 
am a son of my father." 

And Mr. Dewey smiled . pleasantly as he 
bowed the reporter out. '

CHILDREN— Francis Cabeen Lea born September 16th, 1904. 

Biffy did not write a letter for our Triennial Record ; but his latest letter to the Class Secretary 
is so full of Princeton enthusiasm that we will let it do service seven years latter. 
"Dear Char He: 

"For 'general information' you will please note that, fortune willing, the Class of 1926 will have 
one of the finest as a leading light, in other words 'young Lea.' At the age of seventeen months, he's 
tough as a pine knot, can coax or raise the devil, as he wants, falls on the ball, talks six new languages 
of his own and weighs thirty-two pounds. For myself, I'm thirty pounds heavier than I was at our 
Commencement in '96, hair much thinner, but appetite and feelings just the same. The extra weight 
and appetite are caused and kept up by the all-day-out-door life I lead here at the mines; and my under- 
graduate-left-over sensations come from spending, each winter, every other week of the three winter 
months in Philadelphia, where I'm always a newly returned absentee, and therefore out of touch with 
all 'stale topics.' I see a number of Princeton men in Charleston, W. Va. frequently; Joe Gains, '86, 
(Congressman) Smith, '84; Walker, '95; Harry Anderson, '96, and Couch and John Dana, '02 or '03. 
Skinny Baylis dropped in, after ten years separation, a month or two ago, and tried to insure my life 
in his prize company, while a goodly number of old grads often make my house a night stop. I meet 
Princeton men all over the middle West, when I travel for the company, and find them all veritable 
Masons for 'glad hand' work and clannishness ; in fact, the knowledge that one is a Princeton man seems 
to 'go,' out there, with good results; and I never saw a 'Tiger' yet who could not old his own or make 
a crowd sit up and have a good time. When I was best man for a Detroit friend in '01, he was given 
a smoker at the University Club. About two hundred and fifty were present and all sat around like 
Harvard elites until 'Pat' Ford, Jim Knight, MacMillan ('93) and his brother ('98). Altland ('98), a 
few other good Princeton rooters and I bunched up and started campus and grill-room singing, with the 
attendant necessaries brought, by the aid of a few tips, in huge trayfuls. At first there was consterna- 
tion, then curiosity, a little later a desire to mix, and finally intense brotherly love ; and we raised the 
ceiling a good foot. The bar bills brought the club out of debt, two hundred and fifty new De Reszkes 
were in full bloom, and no one went home until four in the morning. So long until Commencement. 

"Sincerely, 

"LANGDON LEA."

"William Strong McGuire for the past five years has been surreptiously carrying on a very un- 
usual work in the worst section of the lower east-side of the city. He has formed a men's club of about 
the toughest characters in town, called the "Hamilton Athletic Club" and he is idolized by the members. 
Recently they gave him a jewelled watch fob as a testimonial. 

"The work has the cordial sympathy and interest of William Travers Jerome, and last year at 
some meeting in Philadelphia, I am told, Mr. Jerome referred to McGuire by name as being the best 
example he knew of a college man performing the most difficult and efficient service toward improving 
the civic conditions in New York."

MARRIED Ehzabeth Emlen Hare, April 24th, 1900, New York Citv. (Mrs. Rives died 
July 23d, 1900). 

[From The New York Times, April 3d, 1906.] 

COMIC OPERA SITUATION AT OUR EMBASSY IN VIENNA. 

Vienna, April 2. — The diplomatic situation resulting from the return of Mr. Storer to Vienna 
may be recommended to the attention of writers of satirical farce. The Foreign Office can communicate 
only with Mr. Storer, who is still the accredited Ambassador, while Washington can communicate only 
with First Secretary Rives, whom it placed in charge until the arrival of Mr. Storer's successor. 

Mr. Storer and the First Secretary, who is recognized to have behaved with great delicacy and 
tact in an exceedingly difficult situation, sit therefore day by day under the same roof and embody 
a dead-lock. 

This dead-lock precludes any such solution as a letter of recall by cable. Assuming the im- 
probability that the Austro-Hungarian Government would sanction a telegraphed letter, the United 
States Government knows only Mr. Rives, to whom such a letter would presumably be addressed, but 
the Austro-Hungarian Government knows only Mr. Storer, to whom the letter could not be delivered 
pending the arrival of the new Ambassador. The dead-lock seems likely to continue. 



Washington, April 2. — The State Department has no disposition to make any issue with the 
Austrian Government over the status of Mr. Storer. It has arranged to have Mr. Francis, the newly 
qualified Ambassador, present the letters of recall of Mr. Storer, and the former, in deference to the 
wishes of the Department, will sail on the 22d inst. from New York.

ALEXANDER N. EASTON DEAD 

Expert Writer on Real Estate Topics Fails to 

Rally After Operation for Cancer. 

Alexander N. Easton, of No. 408 Bergen 
street, Brooklyn, died in the New York Hos- 
pital yesterday as the result of an operation for 
cancer. Mr. Easton had been a sufferer from 
cancer for more than two years and was com- 
pelled to give up his work several months ago. 

Mr. Easton, who was the son of Mr. and 
Mrs. Nelson S. Easton, was born in Morris- 
town, N. J., but while still a child moved with 
his parents to Summit, N. J. His early educa- 
tion was received at the Bordentown Military 
Institute, in New Jersey. He was graduated 
with the class of 1896 from Princeton Univer- 
sity, and during his course carried off many 
honors. 

He had been employed on the New York 
Herald for several years, and previous to that 
had worked on other newspapers in the city. 
He had given much study to real estate opera- 
tions in New York and its vicinity, and was 
generally regarded as an expert in values. 

His wife, three brothers and a sister sur- 
vive him.
